The Big Stone Chest is the stone-built version of the large storage box, with almost twice the room of a regular Stone Chest. It is made from nothing but Stone, which most farms pile up quickly from mining. Getting the recipe takes two steps: first earning the Stone Chest from Robin, then buying the big version from the Dwarf in the Mines. The grey stone finish suits quarries, mine entrances and paved yards where wooden boxes look out of place. It also gives that endless supply of Stone a useful job.
Recipe
The first step is Robin's special order, "Robin's Resource Rush". It asks for a thousand pieces of Wood or Stone within a week, depending on which one Robin names. Finishing it on time teaches the Stone Chest recipe.
The Dwarf then offers the Big Stone Chest recipe for sale. The Dwarf lives just east of the Mines entrance, behind a rock that a Steel Pickaxe or any bomb can break. Talking with the Dwarf needs the Dwarvish Translation Guide. Donating the four Dwarf Scrolls from the Mines to the Museum earns that guide from Gunther.
Crafting is simple once the recipe is known. A large heap of Stone builds one chest. Ordinary rocks give only a few Stone each, while boulders give far more. A quick run through the top floors of the Mines, breaking only the boulders, covers a chest fast.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The Big Stone Chest stores items exactly like the wooden Big Chest. It has room for seventy different stacks, while a regular Stone Chest holds thirty-six. That matches the wooden Big Chest exactly, so the choice between them is only about looks and materials. Using it on an existing chest swaps the boxes in place. Everything inside moves to the new chest, and the old one drops to the ground. A colour bar above its storage grid changes the tint at any time for free.
Notes
Stone keeps coming in from the Mines, the Quarry and the farm's own rocks long after the early building projects are done. The Quarry opens once the Crafts Room bundles in the Community Center are complete. New rocks appear there every day, packed close together, so it is a quick place to refill a stockpile. A single Bomb dropped among those rocks breaks a whole patch at once. Building these chests needs no Copper Bars, unlike the wooden Big Chest, so they cost nothing but spare Stone once the recipe is paid for.
