Hello,

I started playing level 4 of the New-Hope-campaign and there are some prebuilt iron chests which only seem to hold 100 items, i.e. 2 slots. The rest of the slots are red and unusable. Why? The boxes are in no need of repair and furthermore after deconstructing and then rebuilding them those red slots simply disappear.
(Also when trying to post this I accidentally clicked on the name of the attachement, which opened the raw image in the same tab. The back button only brought me back with the message "document expired", meaning I lost what I had written. I don't think this should happen.)

Hi,

Those chests have been 'slot limited' by using the red X at the bottom, many players do this to prevent over-production of items,
You can un-limit the chest by click the red X again, example below

Ah thank you! Never used that before.
