Loom craft from stockpile

[dvsmasta]

Would be nice for looms to allow crafting from stockpiles if you have the stockpile open. Also possibly increasing the range you can open a stockpile while still sitting on a loom?

Use a cb or two ?

Problem solved.

This is a suggestion - not a problem.

Problem not solved.

why limit it to only looms? It would be nice for crafting anything.

If you mean crafting from stockpiles like you can build from them, then no. Stockpiles should be an option for storage only.

I propose a change to stockpiles entirely, for building and crafting. Any stockpile near a construction-zone or machine can be opened regardless of the player's distance from that stockpile, and it will only be used for building/crafting if it is open.

This would be yet another solution preventing thousands of noobs from going "WTF HOW I AM BUIDL WITH NO MATERRIEL!"

Would require a rework of stockpiles, but that's something we've considered anyway. Might happen at some point.

I've crafted linen from flax fiber stockpiles. So long as I can reach the stockpile to right click it while on the loom I can craft from it. I think I have had up to 6 stockpiles around me while doing this. One thing I've noticed is it won't work with a full stockpile. It has to have 1 under capacity.
