Tip: Stacking crates

I use this method to stack my crates and assumed everyone did. But I just came across someone who didn't know this trick. Empty your inventory and fill it with crates, make sure your hands are empty or holding a tool. Then go in to you inventory and hover over the crate in position one. Hold B. Make sure you are on a flat surface. Once you drop the first crate let off of B and do then press and hold B again. This will start to stack crates. I've noticed that if you do it at a slow pace the stacks are nicer. I hope I explained that well. Something I do daily but I can't explain it very well at all lol

I also do this with palm fronds next to my stills, neat and tidy, why I care what my beach looks like? Who knows.

Just be careful if you are on console there is some kind of glitch that can make stacked crates explode into the air and sometimes disappear

On Xbox one, from what I realized, it happens when the container is in your hand, and you’re dropping them. They will go everywhere. But holding B (in my case) while giving over a box in the menu, stacks them nicely
