How to Craft Items Using Materials in Nearby Containers
Enabling Container Pulls
Instead of moving every raw ingredient into your personal inventory before crafting, you can draw materials straight from surrounding storage.
1. Place your raw supplies into reachable containers around your character, such as chests or barrels.
2. Open your crafting interface.
3. Hold Ctrl while clicking a recipe or queuing an order. The Ctrl modifier authorizes the mod to pull the required ingredients directly out of nearby chests and barrels.
4. The mod caches container contents automatically, preventing excessive container opening actions and reducing unnecessary strain on servers.
Handling Chain Crafting
You do not need to manually craft intermediate components before assembling high-tier items:
- When you select a recipe that depends on precursor items, the mod initiates step-by-step chain crafting.
- Raw materials are automatically converted into intermediate parts first, progressing sequentially until the final product is assembled.
- You can combine this chain-crafting process with container pulls to assemble complex items entirely from raw resources stored in nearby chests.
