Storage Organization || Copy/Pasting

In games I tend to like my storage set mostly the same regardless of workbench and thought that it would be useful if there was some sort of copy paste feature to reorganize storages to match each other. I know there are different ranges for storages so it would never be identical but something that would at least try to follow the order that was copied with ones falling off the range being removed and new ones in the range listing at the bottom would be a nice way around that.

Update 14.1 will majorly rework the storage management in the game and allow to copy most of the new settings to other storage containers. While it doesn't exactly do so as suggested in this suggestion, the improvements should lead to a significantly better state in line with the goals of this suggestion. As such I'm closing it as completed, but please feel free to create new improvement suggestions based on the rework.

Storage order and preference should definitely be remembered across work tables and whatnot. I *HATE* having to reorder them for every. single. table. and. storage.

I sort my storages differently per crafting table. In campfires I have iceboxes and silos at the top and stockpiles at the bottom. I almost NEVER want to see power storages in crafting tables. Why would I EVER want my carpentry table to suck logs out of my campfire power? If I had a tick box for categories of storage and could sort them by name or tag it would help enormously! You could have 3 categories of storage: 1. Power / utility storage (like consumables for campfires, gas for vehicles, etc.) 2. Main storage - chests 3. Main storage - stockpiles You could also have tags for each storage - either with user-definable tags or pre-defined ones or both (preferably). You could make tags that would filter storage with keywords like: - Cooking (applied to raw food storages like iceboxes and chests) - Masonry (applied to chests and stockpiles) - Tailoring (applied to chests and stockpiles) And so-on...
