Craft with resources from Storage in Base?

[ChrisMartin]

Returned to NMS, and started a new save. Standing in my base (next to Containers), I can't build/craft items/tech/etc by using resources stored in Base Containers.
I can place stuff in Containers via Inventory menu, but I have to extract resources from Containers, place it in my inventory, to be able to craft.

When did we loose that feature?

You can also send stuff to storage boxes if you enter your base on your freighter. It doesn't work just being in the hangar or on the bridge, you need to enter your base. Then you can send stuff to your storage boxes with X.

If you use the pick up an item in your "hand" and then click on the freighter and use the e and q keys to move over to the storage container of interest, you can just drop it in. It works anywhere in the system. Also works in reverse if you need something and you keep it in a storage container (like a Vykeen dagger at a monolith to find a portal)

I try to avoid that as much as possible. Moving stuff with X button recognises any stacks in your storage boxes and automatically puts your stuff in the correct one. Doing it manually you might end up with two different stacks of the same item, so you end up losing a spot.

Not a major issue, but one I try to avoid.

Do you know if there is a mod like "craft from chest" or in this case "craft from container" ?
I've searched, but found nothing.
(I don't have a freighter.)

There is a setting for it. Why bother with a mod when you can just turn it on?

Where? Did not find any Option to turn on Craft from Containers?

If you are on your land base with your storage you need to take everything manually, i think that way have been for years, but now that you mention iam not sure of it, but anyway if you summon your freighter with that long distance upgrate " some one mention it before " dont remember the name, yoou can pick up anything and build anything, without manually taking any materials in your inventory, you just build directly and the materials will be remove from the container automatic, the same containers in your frigate are the same that you have on your land base . 0 to 9 i beleave, summoning your freighter its the answer you are looking for :)

Holy risen from the dead, that taken care of. It only works if you have a freighter, and if it is in the same system as you are and you have the matter beam installed in the freighter. That's it. You can stand right next to the storage containers on the ground and nothing happens. That is the way it has always been and not changing now.

I think it is a push for folks to get into the freighter business asap, which in most cases to your advantage anyway. Till then, manual only. Is there a mod? Go see...

But this works only when you get a freighter and the matter beam right?

There is definitely not a setting for it. It needs to be put in the game. It's kind of ridiculous that we can't pull resources out of storage containers without a freighter being in the area with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beam on it

There is an option though, it's in difficulty settings.

In either case having a freighter with a matter beam is not a big ask - you get your first freighter for free after all. Either get the matter beam as intended or use to setting that the game provides.

Even though this thread is a couple years old, it looks to still be an accurate issue. I didn't even realize it was an issue, but it sounds very frustrating. I started only putting a specific container in each base based on where I wanted to dump the specific materials from so I don't need to manually select the right container. I go pull my minerals and gas from each base and when i put it in the storage, one container per mat type, I can fill it up. Then when I finish all the biodomes and deposit that, I pull my freighter in(with all the differnt hyperdrive system modules) and then make all the stasis devices then sell if < 4 billion, or deposit the devices for later.

I haven't tried the sorting feature that I have seen talked about yet as the workarounds I do already work well enough for inventory maintenance. I'd much rather see a max item list based inventory rather than having to store item stacks in specific slots. Too big a change for this game I believe.

The storage 'boxes' seem to be a vault or repository. If you want to store materials to use during crafting, build the storage rooms on your freighter and install the matter beam.

I do agree that the storage boxes should also function this way since the storage rooms are technically duplicates of the boxes.

[Sentient_Pickle]

the ability to craft from materials in storage is provided exclusively from the freighter and matter beam. You can even do it while at a base that has no storage cubes at that base and if you don't have your freighter in system and have storage cubes, you cannot build from materials in storage. I do think you should be able to and do wish they'd add that, at least within range of the base and make the benefit of the matter beam be that you can do the same outside of base range on any planet in the same system as your freighter
