If you want to store resources in DayZ, you might want to craft a wooden box crate at some point. Since you require many resources to craft basic items, your inventory can get full relatively fast, and you really can’t get rid of things as they are essential in a post-apocalyptic setting. So, for such situations, you will need to craft a wooden box crate to free up space in your inventory and keep your loot safely stashed in your base.
If you’re just getting started in DayZ, we highly recommend getting a wooden box crate as soon as possible so that you can concentrate on other important tasks. You will have to worry about keeping your character well-fed and hydrated during hunts so that you can keep going. Even in such situations, having a wooden box on hand is far more beneficial as it prepares you well.
How to Hunt in DayZ (The Easy Way)
Track and hunt dangerous wildlife in DayZ to collect resources and defend your camp, as well as crafting important tools and collecting food.
How To Make a Wooden Box Crate In DayZ
When you start building your base, the most effective way to store items and resources is by using a wooden box crate. That’s because it can be crafted fairly quickly and has a long shelf life in DayZ. Additionally, the wooden box crate doesn’t require any tools to craft, just the crafting material. Once made, you can keep food, water, and other essentials that might come in handy if you fall sick in Dayz.
The wooden box also has a lifespan of 45 days if it is kept unburied and 12-14 days if you decide to bury it and hide it from other players.
The wooden box crate can be crafted by using 8 Wooden Planks and 14 Nails. So, to get started, you must first find these resources, and to save you some time, here are the best locations:
Where To Find 8 Wooden Planks
The best locations to find a wooden plank is by exploring a nearby sawmill or a construction site. You will find Lumber Piles stacked up at random locations in both areas, and you will need a handsaw or a hacksaw to break them down into planks. To transport planks from these locations, it’s best to use a vehicle in DayZ as you cannot many. You can also get planks by chopping down trees if there isn’t a construction site or a sawmill nearby.
Where To Find 10 Nails
To find Nails in DayZ, your best chances of finding some are in boxes found in construction zones. You can also find them in garages in the Dubky region. In rare cases, you will find a box or two around the Komarovo docks or maintenance sheds. One box can have up to 70x nails and be used quickly. So, be sure to think ahead and stock up on nails for future base-building projects.
