Now to start, I am explicitly not using this to make money. It's a charity thing for my God Oghma. I'm working on creating "civilizations in a box" to create and hand out to the poor. It'll have educational materials (I've already done the math on the logistics), "time saving" tools like washboards etc.

Now the rules for Fabricate is it needs to be a single object. My understanding is that a chest is a single object (you can interact with it as a single object interaction, Teleport usually works on chests).

My plan is to create a near 5x5x5 foot crate, with sleds that can be attached to the bottom, and chock it full of goodies for the poors. Not just food, food gets eaten, but things that allow them to bring themselves out of poverty (historically this was clothes, as what you wore defined social access, I have weavers tools proficiency and know how to make fabric out of natural fibers). Learning to read is a big one for Oghma, I want to teach them their civil rights as well, lots of things.

Now, RAW, I can do all of this with Weavers Tools (Rag Paper, Tapestries for literacy etc) if I'm allowed to make the crate as a single object. Slight flexing on the rules and I can include any one other artisan tool, I was going to use Woodworking and make Wood Leaf Sheave Books which are practically indestructible when heat treated. Breaking the rules I can get a +5 to all my INT checks to make the educational materials by being allowed to reference books, and can switch between the Artisan tools as a Magic Action. I'm not to fussed on the last part I have things sorted.

So what do people think? RAI and RAW I think technically the crate would be a single object, especially if I include thin sprues connecting them. I know the answer is "Ask DM", I'm waiting to hear back from them but I'd just like to talk to someone about this :P

BTW A single casting of Fabricate can create 8x5 crates, but each filled crate would use about 25-30 adult trees, and I don't want to clear fell an area.
