- "A crate filled with yummy yum yums nyu"
- ―Waifu Magnet Mk XVIII
Summary
It's a wooden box with a slightly different texture with other boxes inside the main attraction of the map. In Farmhouse, you need to find eight and place it inside the truck. For M.S Antares, you need to chuck these out of the map. In Blox Harbor you need to find ten of these and place them on the boat.
Background Story
As the manual states for this, this flatbed crate can be used for a variety of things. Seems to have three stories for three different lives.
Farmhouse
When the survivors stepped into the truck, they expected to leave quickly... But suddenly a random farmer shouted: "But Sir! You forgot your rations!" And the Truck driver looked like he had a deja vu. He immediately stopped the truck and ordered all passengers to get the crates back. Most of the crates just had food and water, but one crate had a special mark on it. But before the survivors could take a good look, it got grasped away by the truck driver. Nobody knows what was inside the crate, all they knew was that the truck driver got his insanely huge manga collection back... Somehow...
M.S Antares
When the Survivors realised the ship was sinking, they called in for the rescue helicopter. Things went bad though when the ship was sinking too fast. They had no choice but to throw out all the rations they had gathered, in order to slow down the sinking. Such a waste of food.
Blox Harbor
Yes, burning down the trees did lead to a supply problem. Also added to global warming, gonna be honest. Still, there was plenty of boxes around an old abandoned military base.
Just don't tell the captain that the boxes contain alcoholic beverages. He might doze to sleep.
