Hope I missed something simple...

Put a lot of my harvested resources in containers to keep them separated by type (mineral, chemical, vapor, etc.). Now, when it comes time to use them to craft an item, they are not available to me in the crafting window. Then attempted to take items out of the individual containers and put them back in "general" storage so that they come up in the crafting window - no dice, can't move them out of the container.

Am I doing something wrong, or does the game not allow you to craft from containered resources, or allow you to move those resources back into the "general" area?

Thanks.

All resources you plan to use for crafting an item must be in the root of your inventory. They can not be in containers. What I do is to keep all my resources seperated by type in containers and then when I begin to craft something I move out only the resources I need to my main inventory.

Keeps things nice and neat and I don't have to scroll when iam adding resources in the crafting kit.

Just drag the resource you want to the quick bar on the top of your screen, the f1-f12, and then drag into your main inventory.

I'd like to see this feature added. It's really a pain having to move resources out of your containers into the root just to craft, especially when you're close to being full and find that you need to move the resources back just to get the crafted item out of the tool. You have the option to choose items in containers for the bazaar, so hopefully it wouldn't be too much of an issue to add it to the crafting tools.

To whomever becomes/became the artisan correspondant, please add this to your list!

Have you tried using travel packs? I put a lot of my resources into a couple of different packs, then when I craft I just open the pack and leave the window open--unless I was confused at the time, I seem to remember the components being available without having to move them.

Yes Kasuta, I do that too. When I start crafting I just open my travel pack and leave the window open. I then drag to my inventory the resources that I need. I can also drag the item I just created back to my travel pack leaving my inventory pretty clean.
