Storage, Signs

[StrykerLee]

We need re-nameable signs for the storage containers and house doors. Option to lock the action bar in combat. Wall mounted torches to not connect at the wall 6~12" Gap.

This very much. Also for gods sake, please add a "take from nearest storage" feature to crafting stations!

It's already in the game... You need to progress further to unlock magic chests.

Yeah, i just noticed we cant name storage bins.

[michellembrodeur]

Name storage bins.
Place signs on wall,
Name map locations, 5/6 altars are named all the same "Home level one"
Let us put text on the map.

Once you get magic storage bins it won’t matter you can pull craft anything from anywhere in your base once you have these.

Doesn't seem to be possible to do that with things like Kiln, Forge etc.
the pulling materials from storage's is in the game, I think it's silly that it's not incorporated with them.
Or give us signs....

It doesn't work on kilns/forge/etc.. because those aren't crafting, they're processing. And they can only process what's in their inventory.

They can't safely be automated from storage because they'd chew through all the required mats in storage indiscriminately.

They'll have to redesign them to only process a set amount before they can consider auto-pulling from storage.

Being able to write on a sign and put it up on the wall is the most important thing for me, but naming chests would also be cool to have :)

For the meantime, I store all my basic mats in a chest, my refined, plants, food in all different chest. So I know where to search

yes a thousand times over. Its so hard to keep organized and remember which chest is what.

[Vela Darney]

Yeah, either give us signs to put on walls, or let us name chests. It's great that we're getting a preview of what's in a chest on mouse over but I still will have to open it and check its contents because of course we don't get previews of EVERYTHING that's in it. So unless you store just a few different mats in a chest, you'll still have to check.

LMAO, Why can't anyone just use their brains and remember stuff? Signs are a good requirement for co-op though, but solo play, are you going to tell me you can not remember where you put stuff? Just place chests in the right spots, e.i. ore chest by the forging :)

Perhaps, you could take your own advice and use your brain. The game is primarily multiplayer, and the world doesn't need to submit to your very limited view of building.
