This is the same error I am getting.

Hey gamers, I was getting an identical error so here is a fix.

Go to your factorio mod folder: C:\Users\ YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods

Open: WideChests_3.0.4\prototypes\entity.lua

Replace this line: max_health = data.max_health * math.min(width * height, 10),

With this line: max_health = 1000,

Hit Save, and factorio will load

Every merg chest will have 1000 health. I would give a better fix, but I don't program in lua. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry, it is ifxed in 3.0.5.

thanks ... it seems to work fine now !
