#### Making things at home without picking up all ingredients into our inventory

When in our homes, I think it would be lovely if we didn't have to pick up everything we need when we are cooking / tinkering / potion-making etc. For instance, when making awesome stew - as long as cabbage, onions, meat etc are somewhere in my house and I'm at home, the awesome pot menu has them available to cook with without me having to gather them from cabinets and SDBs etc to have them in my inventory.

- I'd like some kind of confirmation that we definitely want things to be taken out of our storage.
  Or a special type of cabinet that we can do this automatically with. Cause yeah, sometimes there are so many ingredients! :)

  While I love the idea of making redundant things easier, I guess personally, I don't want everything to be too easy. To me, this starts to fall into the too easy category. It is why I was grateful they brought back cabinets...so we could store bags of certain ingredients that we'd need to make things or do things. While extras can be put into SDBs, to me, it's not that big of deal to have a bag of herbs, or a bag of awesome stew ingredients, and when I want to make essences or awesome stews, I just grab a bag out of the cabinet and make them. I guess my point is that I don't want the game to do everything automatically for me...part of the fun of the game is trying to figure out ways to make it easier on myself to do the things I like to do without excessive hand holding by the game mechanics.

- Amen! I would love to be able to make a pantry and stand there and cook without all the bag shuffling.

- in the name of grendaline, yes! i've just begun not carrying everything around with me all the time, and setting up different home-station for different activities. i'm sure this is part of what was intended with making homes so easily accessible in the reset, and it feels to fit in well with the general spirit of the reset.
  about things becoming too easy, though, b3achy might have a point. maybe some balancing point could be reached... maybe you'd have to be close to the right sdb/cabinet to do it or something like that. that would add a new dimension to house-planning as well!

- Oh wouldn't it be fabulous if there was the ability to set cabinets for certain usage - so if you set a certain cabinet(s) as kitchen cabinet then when you go to use kitchen tools items in that cabinet would be available without picking them up into your inventory (if you were at home). A machine cabinet to keep fuel, planks, ingots etc. I don't think it would necessarily make things easier just less fidgety. I'd rather be out on the streets harvesting, gathering, growing, mining and planting than spending ages at home sorting through bags trying to find what I need for each thing I go to cook.

- grendaline! i did call, and i demand immediate function-specific cabinets!
  (i believe i've earned lifelong rights to demand things of you when i accidentally donated 120 awesome stews on your shrine)
