Craft From Containers

[Capp00]

I think a huge QOL ability would be able to craft from containers. Limit it to within the same structure or something if need be, but it would save soooo much time running back and forth to containers to get things, or to see if you have things.
If someone doesn't want to use it, maybe an option in Settings to allow/disallow it.
Crafting/survival games are so much more smooth to manage building and crafting when it's an option.

Thank you for a fun game!

Crafting from containers in survival games is a mod 90% of the time. It's very rare for it to be a part of the actual game. One of the few that I'm aware of that implements it in-game was Planet Nomads, and you had to use the conveyor system to connect the fabricators to the containers.

That's the entire point of pinning blueprints

There is no modding in the game and acknowledging that is is a common mod only underlines that it's a popular option in these types of games. As OP says. Make it optional, make it a blueprint where you need to build a mod for machines or storage containers to enable it.

I'd say the point is that diving into 4-5 different containers, pulling what you need, crafting, putting excess back in the correct containers and repeating is needless busy work. It's neither enjoyable or challenging. In fact, the only challenge is remembering what you need and pinning removes that. So it's just busy work for the sake of busy work. It gets old fast and becomes a frustration for many.

Also, Oh Hey, Hi Capp00! :D

Yeah I was just thinking, it so anoying to go runnig around diffrent containers. I would love to have this as optional upgrade.

Eden Crafters and Enshrouded both have this option , you just have to make an item to make it work.

I think it will be implemented eventually. Either with advanced lockers or a machine which "connects" all other lockers.

In most games it's usually not there from the beginning but a later upgrade or research option.

Hiya :)

And yes, your response was perfect. More and more games are coming out with it as a standard option, even if it's an updated chest or machine needed to get it to work.
