So when updating to the latest 3.0.6 update all my chests were removed.
Figured out that after this update somehow my startup settings all got reset.
it's a new restriction in factorio 0.18.19 : stacksize has to be larger than the number of chests that a widechest is made from. see https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WideChests/discussion/5e9d99179e85eb000fbb4f2a
it would have been nice if all these threads concerning 0.18.19 and the corresponding (attempted? real?) fix in 3.0.6 would have been written in one single thread :-)
