Crates

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki

There are 9 types of crate in this mod, 5 of which are loot crates which are called from the supply drop requester, and 4 are similar to chests, which are craftable and can spawn in some structures. In order to open a loot crate, you must right click it with a crowbar.

Crates can be broken and picked up with their contents still inside, allowing for mass transport of materials, similar to how shulker boxes work in more modern versions of Minecraft.

Tungsten Crate

Tungsten Crate

The tungsten crate is a very expensive crate, but provides less storage space than even the iron crate, what gives? The tungsten crate happens to have a special role that the other crates can't fulfill, in that it can withstand the force of a full powered DFC beam fired directly upon it. If fired upon with enough power, the contents of the crate can be transmuted, turning polonium-210 into yharonite, a very useful endgame material.
