combine crates to reduce pollution

[jpw1991]

Description

When minions die, they can drop a crate that floats in water. This stops their items from sinking which is good. But it'd be nice if rather than making a new crate for every minion that if a crate already exists, fill it up with items.

Is the feature related to a problem?

Yes. Dozens of crates with 2 deerhide is not as nice as a few crates or one crate.

Solutions

• When creature dies, do a quick scan for a crate nearby
• No crate found? Behave as normal
• Crate found? Attempt to add items to it. If successfully transferred, great. If transfer is only partial or there's a remainder, create a new crate

Considerations

• Conflicts
  • If 10 minions die at the same time, it's not good if all of these are trying to access the same crate.
  • To resolve that, I think minions should add their stuff to a queue which then gets processed sequentially

if possible, some filtering based on owner (for multiplayer)
