Wooden crate is stronger than early metal chests #408

Wooden crate has more health than tin and bronze chests. Because of this, a wooden crate is better than a tin chest, which has the same storage, and partially better than a bronze chest. The case of the tin chest looks especially strange given the fact that a tin pallet has the same health as a wooden pallet and has more storage. It seems to me that metal chests should have more health than crates made from easily accessible wood.

And I think that tin and bronze chests should have some kind of resistance like iron and steel chests.

It looks like all vanilla chests were missed from the standardised resistances and hit points pass.

I'll address this in a future release. Note that tin storage containers only exist in the mod at all because of a request from a player that liked to start in desert scenarios with very little wood - they are intended to be absolutely equivalent to wood. At most the tin storage will get the copper tier resistance (75% fire, 25% impact) but it will not have more health than wood. Tin is extremely soft and a good timber wood is far stronger.

Also adjusted logistics chests to follow the steel chest scheme.
