Dimraeth Storage Chest Tab — the Build Menu Fix Explained

Storage chests in Dimraeth got their own tab in the build menu with Hotfix 0.107.7694 on September 16, 2026 — the official note's line is "Fixes storage chests to have their own tab". It is the kind of fix that sounds minor until you have stood in your sanctum hunting a chest recipe through the wrong menus. Before the hotfix, players report the pinewood chest lived under the Furniture tab, where one player admitted the row of tabs "blended into the bottom of the screen"; after it, chests have a dedicated spot. This page covers what the tab change means, how to craft and place your first chest, and the storage workarounds that work before and after it.

What the storage chest tab fix changed

The official hotfix line is one sentence — "Fixes storage chests to have their own tab" — and Mudtek has not published the tab's in-game name, so the practical takeaway is simply: update the game, open the Sanctum build menu, and look for a storage section of its own rather than digging through furniture. Community players describing the pre-hotfix experience traced the old path as Furniture, then Storage, for the pinewood chest — and the reason the fix matters is placement friction, not discovery alone: chests are the backbone of the sanctum loop, where logs, stone, planks and upgrade materials queue up between runs. If your build menu shows no dedicated storage tab at all, your client has not picked up the hotfix yet; restart Steam and let the update finish.

Crafting your first chest, step by step

Community guides agree on the crafting chain, which runs through the workbench. First, get Pinewood Planks — a forum moderator notes they spawn most often "in chests and on corpses" in the farmland just north of Earlwood Village, and a creator guide adds that you cannot craft planks until you have looted your first ones. Second, build a workbench in the Sanctum and use it to turn logs into planks and stone into nails. Third, keep those materials in your inventory and open the build menu's storage tab — one player who could not place a third chest worked out that "the resources were in the workbench so they didn't count", which is the most common failure. Chest size is player-reported rather than officially documented; players in a Steam storage discussion mention 18 slots per chest, and Mudtek has not announced larger tiers.
