See inside chests and bundling wraps

[Uncrushed]

Inevitably on a public server, someone makes a bunch of chests and everyone else ends up repeatedly opening every chest to see what's inside.  This is just a frustrating time sink and no fun.  Labeling chests with black feathers and charcoal is another huge time sink and even less fun for the character doing it.  On a public server, why would you do this while everyone else goes off to do more fun things?  It doesn't happen.

The Insight mod lets you at least see what chests and fridges already contain the item you're looking to store.  Could you maybe show the first or last item on the outside of each chest or fridge?  To at least give a theme?  Like, there's rocks 'n' stuff in this chest?  This is the meat fridge.  This fridge has seeds.  This one has veggies?  You could either turn that off for pregenerated chests with secret contents, or leave the visible slot empty in those chests?

Bundling wrap would be great to see inside.  Again, showing just one slot would be a huge improvement.  It's just no fun bundling and unbundling unnecessarily.

Why not a mod?  Because everyone needs to see it (not client-side) and it needs to work on Klei's public servers which have no mods (not server-side).

I think at least reveal the first items (or mark the first item).

First items can serve as a reminder or mini-sign which is enough to remind me the contents.

First item reveal would be already a massive QoL, and a balanced compromise, I think, if bundling wrap has to be sealed in the dark.

I kind of like the design mini-game of organizing the base with good signs and spots to mark what bundle contains what.

It's fun.
