Plates keep exploding

I'm trying to make a table that can be flipped and drug around so I changed the table's entity to a drag object, and gave it a mass of 50. Then I set it in the level and changed its dimensions to make it the size of a dinner table.

Now however, I can't put anything breakable on it. Any plates or potted plants or what have you immediately explode even when they're put directly on the table. Why could this keep happening?

It's not unheard of in games, for stuck objects to build up enough trapped force and vibration, to smash anything it comes into contact with. Maybe you've placed the table inside the floor, or maybe it's burrowing into the floor because it's simply over a certain mass limit. Try placing the table an inch off the ground and lowering its mass, and see if things work out then.

Why not use the movable table alrdy in the game?

RE: Plates keep exploding

The obvious solution isn't messing around with the table, it's messing around with the plates and pots. Edit them so that they require more effort to break.
