Barrels In Shipwrecks Instead Of Chests

Some of the Shipwrecks spawn upside down or sideways and the chests in them spawn always upright. I think this is a bit inconsistent and doesn't make much sense so I suggest replacing the chests with barrels because barrels can be placed upright and sideways. That way the whole shipwreck will make more sense and it will look better.

    This are the kind of design decisions that drive me crazy. The only reason I could see to keep it is sometimes the chests are blocked from opening, which adds to the difficulty of looting them early in the game without a breathing helmet or potion.

    I think ruins should definitely have them, since you have to dig around anyway. The main loot in a ship should be a chest but the minor ones that are more accessible should be barrels, or even just have one or two on the deck with junk in them for decoration, or even laying somewhere near the ship on the ocean floor filled with "goods" the ship was carrying. Would be a good way to get crops, seeds, or other minor items early.

    A mix of both would be nice since pirates use both. Maybe only the captains quarters have chests
