it'd be better to discuss what the barrier of entry to any breaking of the crates *should be*.
if the barrier should be 'bashing it' then shuttling is hardly an issue, and this change is good. ironically enough, lockers are bashable, and they're the ones with a whole packet minigame to crack open.
if the barrier should be higher, why is shuttling not acceptable? once shuttling is gone people will just move to potwater, or bath bombs. should bath bombs work? are we expecting it to be hidden behind 'enough secrecy that people dont do it often'? because in that case we'll just end up removing features that catch on, one at a time.
i dont think it breaks suspension of disbelief at all, and think the existing behaviour is pretty silly in a goonstation manner. doing things for realism is smelly and removes amusing features for nobody's benefit.
unless there's some fun-inducing upside i'm not seeing from making it break everything i think it should stay unchanged.
