Map mode to highlight chests

Exactly what it says in the topic.

When I play and accumulate too much needless stuff in my inventory, I tend to do "emergency dumps" by crafting a chest and dumping any excess items there for the time being. This can happen anywhere when I'm too far from my main base, especially if I'm removing a lot of wood simultaneously. I then resume my projects and eventually the map is littered with chests, half-full of random stuff. I'd like to clean up, but usually it's a mystery exactly where all the emergency chests lay. A simple mapmode to display all the chests in the map would negate this.

A very simple mod could change the chest map color to something more visible.

Or you can check out the Factory Search mod, which will zoom to each chest if you know a certain item is there.

Or you can do an “Entity” search, which will find all chests of that type.
