'''Supply crates''' are special containersboxes, which often contain several items of value. They are implied to be lost or abandoned courier delivery packages, the objects contained within now free to be looted by the first person to find them. They must not be confused with [[Containers]], which are also randomly-found boxes full of items, but the contents of which may be protected by locks and trap systems.
Supply crates have the particular distinction of having '''no Weight rating'''; they cannot be added to the inventory while unopened. Instead they must first be opened to reveal the items inside. That is because several types of supply crates contain random items, meant to be generated on the spot.
All crates have a '''designation''' and a list of contents. There are two types of crates; those with '''fixed contents''' (they contain the same types of items, listed clearly) and those with '''random contents''' (only a list of ''types'' of items is described, but the exact contents inside are not known until opened).
Supply crates fulfill the role of random "treasure chests", as they often contain useful and valuable objects, and unlike [[Containers]], are always completely safe and require no special tools or preparation to open. This page will list all of the supply crate designations and corresponding lists of items to expect in each.
