Show available storage space in store tooltip/UI
Very often, you travel a long way with a heavy load of goods to a store in order to sell to them, only to find out they have no space for your goods!
Adding information on how much space a store has for receiving goods sold to it would largely solve this problem, as I could just check that before traveling all the way to the store. It could be as simple as adding this to the store's tooltip: "X m3 stockpile storage available, Y slots of chest storage available".

Matt Hesser That unfortunately would still require to heavily query information, as the system needs to decide which buy orders to close, as not all buy orders may be faced with insufficient space (or close all, despite that not being necessary, whenever one good has no room anymore). It would also suffer the same problem of players crafting filling and emptying storages on the fly - there would barely be any difference in compute power required as storage capacity would still continuously change and require a new decision on if the store is now open or closed (and for which parts of the orders, if that is desired) - the only difference is that it wouldnt need to display something. Instead it would lead to potential notification spam with stores closing and opening, but the whole requirement to check storage capacity continuously would still be there. I hence merged this into the other suggestion.
