Desperately needs shared chest inventory in base

[LuckyHaans]

Given the high quality of the rest of the games mechanics I was pretty shocked that once I put building mats away in a chest I wasn’t able to build without taking them back out.

Huge gap and makes everything very annoying given how restrictive inventory and storage is and how many materials there are. Is this on the roadmap? If not I can’t see myself putting in all the effort of juggling and given how much of a draw base building is for this game think it’s important to fix?

On building quality of life:
- I’d suggest that building blocks shouldn’t occupy inventory space at all and should just be global to the base. Alleviates the above but also there’s no need to have these occupy inventory space unless I’m missing something.
- Building from a menu, having an item drop into inventory, then having to move it to the quick bar, then select it just to place it is just far too much work. Should be integrated into the building hammer menu or at least once it’s built, switch directly to the place interface?

What you want is in the game; magic chests. In a recent patch they added the 1st tier magic chest to the workbench to stop this exact complaint (it used to show up later in the game). Its description literally says "The items stored here can be used for crafting purposes from anywhere in the base".

How do people not see this? Is it only triggered to show once you pick up Shroud Spores (which you get from any shroud enemy) or maybe from getting Shroud Liquid?

Whatever it is, go check your workbench under "Storage". If its not there, go get some of the above stuff and it should appear as a choice.

They aren't looking for what's available. Too busy running to complain here.

...well you still need the building blocks in your inventory as far as I have seen. But all other things, - especially crafted ones via workstations or NPC-crafters - are directly used out of the magic chests.

Automatic crafting-stations. (forges, dryers, cookers) still need the mats in THEIR inventory, though.
But maybe, this will also be changed in the future. where you can select tha amount to craft, then. (This isn't possible at the moment. The auto-crafters always craft ALL items available, according to the mats in their inventory....)

So it's still worth to put chests near workstations, regardless if they're magical or not. (I recommend magical ones, though). Especially, because you can't name the chests, yet.

Remember: this game is EA. All things are subject to get improved or changed...

Oh no way, thanks! Time to build some magic chests. I still think this should be default for storage though

Yeah thats really a bit annoying - normally i dont want to much automation but constantly having to run to a chest and get building blocks even with magic chests to build is annoying.

The same applys to many of the decoration items - they should at least have higher stack limits - for example building a long fence with stone fences is rather annoying - the same applys to windows since you constantly have to move them in your action-bar.

Whats even worse are items that dont stack at all - get the idea to some extent - but its really annoying - for example if i want to build multiple wells it would be nice if they stack or at least some sort of mechanic that pulls the next well in the same actionbar slot as the one you just built.

And - complaining about how you have to have the building blocks in your inventory? And have to MANUALLY (I'm shocked, SHOCKED *clutches pearls*) put stuff in the crafting stations that then DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU? I swear, some people just want a game where all they have to do is press the "any key" and voilá - huge-ass mansion and character on max level, with top tier armor and optimized skills ...

there's need to be an option to take stuff from magic chest when you are BUILDING (i sayd building not crafting...)your base without going back and forward to actually pick the block out

this game effectively does give you all that by the time you're 25 if you're willing to do some chest respawning, and the two players that i know that did this exactly are the two that are most loudly complaining about the game being too easy.

welcome to modern gaming.

Sounds like they're talking about BUILDING blocks, not just regular crafting mats, lol.
