  +1 as a basic quality of life feature that is expected in these sorts of games.

  I would like to add that items in storage should be usable as long as they are within a reasonable radius of the crafting station you are using.

  This is always a necessity in crafting/survival games especially for production times and inventory management. Not having it will literally make people quit the game.
  
  That being said, for production I can see things like wood being consumed waaaay too rapidly if it auto pulls. As it stands, having to put in 1 of each item into the tables at a time (wood, charcoal, stone) is horrid. Absolutely stupid. If most items are pulled automatically (especially for building), the ones mentioned above need to have inventory squares so we can stack those mats in higher numbers and just let it run.

  There is already a suggestion for 'Allow crafting to always pull from any storage please' Just wanted to make sure that building was also included.

  I’d like to be able to build from chests within a certain radius, not just craft at benches from them.

  Yes for both crafting at Utility stations, as well as via the Hammer. Having to run around from chest to chest, grab X, Y and Z to build/craft something is a pain. :)

  Good Afternoon Defilers!
  
  I want to point out that as i played around with the mechanics of the game, as long as everything is connected with foundations or floors no matter how far away the crafting station is it will pull resources from the storage boxes! if you put two buildings together and connected them with a 1x1 they will pull from any storage on the platform, if you remove the 1 and only 1x1 connecting the buildings you will lose access to the storage in the opposite building! If you make a large foundation and then build mulitple buildings on to it and put all the boxes in 1 corner of a 25x25 every building built on this foundation will have complete and total access to all storage items no matter how close or how far from the crafting station the storage boxes are! This is already a solid mechanic and doesn't need to be changed! More people need to explain how this works so it doesn't get broken!

  @ Kilth3man
  It doesn't seem to work like that. I've been meaning to post for a few weeks and the update reminded me. I checked this a week or so ago, I have all the items in chests I need to make multiple items with the crafting bench. Everything is in the same building and on the same connected foundation but I can't craft any items and the benches don't "see" the ingredients that are in the chests.
  I've tried rebuilding foundations/floors, moving chests/benches etc and it just seems to be the same as when I first posted this request (I'm the OP)
  I see that there is something in the update that sort of fixes this so that's cool even if it isn't quite what my all chests - all day, fundamentalist hopes and dreams were ;-)

  Currently, you can craft from storage, but it would be great if you could also add materials to the various forges from storage. That goes for armor crafting stations too.
