  Please allow us to move full chests please!
  I know it's a rather minor thing, but it's so annoying to have to empty the chests before rearranging the crafting/storage area of your base.

  As the title says, without the need for those objects with storages to be emptied before being able to be picked up and moved to another place.

  It's incredibly tedious and annoying having to place things in our inventory into a chest just so we can then take everything out of a chest we want to move, only to put it all back in that chest after we move it, and then have to go back to the other chest to get the things that were originally in our inventory.

  It would be very helpful to be able to move a storage container without having to empty its contents first.

  Why this so under-voted?
  
  This is definitely must-have feature, as previously stated, it's really tedious to move full chests around base.
  
  Might be related to https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/suggestions/525563, as moving objects without emptying them will definitely help.

  Allow players to pick up full storage chests from a base and move them to another base.
  
  Allows for quick and easy relocation or transport of materials from one base to another.

  As long as this doesn't allow access to the contents of the chest while being transported, I agree.

  Coming back to enshrouded and being unable to do this after getting used to it in other games is so annoying, +1 to the suggestion!

  Agreed. I don't understand the issue. If someone picks up a container that has something inside, it's not like they're asking for the contents to become accessible. It's fine if I can't open a chest I'm carrying (actually some games have implementations where you can open a chest you're carrying just fine, but I'm making this easy for you).
  
  Honestly, containers that can't be moved the moment they contain something seems to me should be an issue solved generations ago. Like I mentioned above, I've seen games where you can pick up a container that has something in it, heck even walk around and open the container to take something out of it even while it's still not placed yet (see The Survivalists). This is not an insurmountable problem. In fact it is a solved problem, as some games have already demonstrated. Frankly I'm suspicious of new games in this day and age which still have this constraint. It makes me question, well, things I'd rather not go into here for politeness' sake.

  Grounded has this feature: the ability to move a chest with items to a different location. Also, chest renaming and custom icons. Same with map custom markers, which should have a rename and not just a custom icons.

  Upvoted and adding a comment just to ping this. Ability to move full chests/chests with items in PLEASE. Trying to make a nice base but I need to move some chests around is pain...having to empty them is pain.

  It's simple: movable chests and altars of flames that can be moved, but when the altar reaches or moves away from a building's area, the area turns red, indicating that moving the altar will destroy the area outside its reach.
  
  This isn't part of the idea, but some mechanic that allows the player to swap actions that are very close to each other. I lost all my items because of the lack of this mechanic, because I died next to the altar of flames, and I found myself unable to pick up my items, because the action of talking to the altar overwhelmed the action of picking up the items.

  It would be so beneficial to us as players to be able to grab a chest and move it without having to empty the contents. This goes for the kilns and other items as well. It's soooooo time consuming to have to empty and move, empty and move. It's killing the joy of this game for me.
