Allow us to craft from any nearby chests, not just magic chests.
To streamline a bit the process of crafting objects while in the base, I think it would be very helpful if the game took in consideration nearby crates. This would reduce the amount of times I have to go visit the chest simply to gather materials. It could even be something that needs to be unlocked like a skill

Similar suggestion that'll still keep Magic Chests relevant as an item: crafting tables can take from nearby chests in a single base, while magic chests let you share items between multiple bases. I personally don't mind a little back and forth while I'm crafting, but needing to fast travel 12 times in a row to get a new base up to snuff isn't my idea of a good time. -

Splinterkat MergedI know there's a magic chest later that lets us do this but please don't lock such a fundamental quality-of-life feature behind progression/resources.
There's a real difference between progression towards things that make the game easier/more fun and making the game more frustrating and then forcing you to work to make it not. -

Gildedherocoming from playing in PalWorld where this is implemented, it truly does suck to have to go to a crate all the time to build stuff. if i place an item in my base thats in a chest i should have access to it at all times.

HalfGlassOfLukeThis a basic gameplay feature that should have been implemented. Games like Stardew Valley, Palworld, Coral Island and many more have this by default. It's one of those frustrations that shouldn't be in the game.

ShiftyOnezYep, take a lesson from Palworld. If I'm crafting items it's awesome to not have to go look at a chest and grab all the stuff. Crafting just pulls it from the chest inventory.

Eviltek2099Crafting from container is already in the game. You just have to make magic chests!

AvatarIf you want "magic" chests, then they need to be a VERY early game upgrade. Allow chests to be turned into magic chests by shoving a few shroud spores from the fell in the very first enshrouded area into them. Then they convert into magic chests - we don't need separate chests for them, they just get forever upgraded. That's how early they need to be that way - at a minimum.

Jarrod MergedOnly when inside the border of your bases build zone make it so you can build and craft things without having to carry the items required to do so. Pretty much as long as it's in a chest in your bases zone it can be used to craft, build, not take up inventory space and save some time to enjoy other parts of the game more.

Elias Mergedit would be great if you could add up all the materials of the storage chests within the base and make them useable for crafting without having to keep the materials in the player's inventory every time

menesekinci MergedIn the game, while crafting, if the materials needed for production are already present in the chests, it is a huge waste of time to repeatedly select and add those materials to my inventory. Since those items are available in the chests, I should be able to use the materials from the chests automatically when crafting. Having to constantly retrieve items from the chests each time is really frustrating and annoying. With so many other activities to do in such games, having to sift through chests for materials takes away the enjoyment and makes me lose interest in the game. I believe this should definitely be changed.

Mike MergedAllow items in crafting benches be seen similar to magic chests or have their storage be linked to whatever chest you place inside it that way if its a magic chest you use it will function directly the same.

Gökhan MergedDear Dev-Team,
Each time I want to craft items I must withdraw the necessary resources from the boxes, which is quite inconvenient, especially when there is no space in my backpack.
It would be helpful to have an option to automatically retrieve available resources from the boxes without needing to transfer them to the backpack first.
By the way, I love your game! Keep up the great work.
Thank you! -

Willibald Spörk MergedIt would be really helpful if I could access all items stored in boxes during crafting. Since the inventory is so small, it's tedious to constantly search through boxes to see where I've stored things and whether I even have the items or enough of them. So please, during crafting, automatically use all available materials, regardless of where they're stored. Thank you!
