World Stupidest loot chest in the game (probably)

Today I was looting chests in the Detlas area for a daily mission when I went into a cave that I usually get 1 chest from and as I was leaving I noticed an extra puzzle


(the cave entrance)

The extra puzzle was a minecart puzzle, very similar to the one from Canary Calls (and it ironically works better than the one from that quest too despite being a basic eco cave that most players will never stumble upon)

The puzzle required you to place emeralds on wooden pressure plates so that a minecart would be guided away from holes where it'd be destroyed and instead go to the end goal.


(if you're exploring this cave, it's in the boarded off area)

The puzzle was actually confusing because there was an entire part of it to throw you off when actually one of the holes was a tunnel that transported the minecart around the cave. The puzzle was good and not something I expected to find. I was expecting a good reward for this. In the Silent Expanse, there's an eco cave with three high-tier loot chests just behind the Witness Church which requires you to fight 6 different mobs of your choosing and rewards you well for it. In the Nivla forest, there's a tree stump with 2 high tier loot chests which open up after you beat mobs (last time i tried this puzzle it did not work so it may have been removed). I expected a similar case with this cave, specifically, three. I expected three high tier low level loot chests.

And what did I get?

Quite literally nothing.

Well, not quite.

You see, I took that screenshot above at a bad time. There were brown particles over the gold block indicative of a low-tier loot chest, like the type you'd find while going down a path. However, this chest was bugged and did not spawn. So not only is this chest's tier unfitting and actually stupid, but it's also bugged.

So, for finding this little secluded cave on the Detlas side of the Nivla River, and detouring off the main cave path into a hidden(ish) area and THEN doing a difficult puzzle that requires me to drop valuable emeralds (or some other throwaway item), I am rewarded with what is supposed to be a tier 2(?) chest. And to rub salt on the wound, the cave's main chest is a high-tier one.

I'd suggest the puzzle gets reworked to use custom switches for the minecart rails instead of wooden pressure plates, and also the reward is changed to 2 high-tier chests (since this cave already offers 1)
