I have my crafting station setup outside with tables on both sides holding some crafting materials. It would be much nicer to have a chest for all crafting items. I don't like them in pockets taking up valuable space.
The simplest thing would be to let us access our house storage from anywhere, and/or let the DIY work bench be able to pull materials out of your storage directly, instead of only pockets.
The chest thing could work too, but preferably would work something like the "Chests Anywhere" mod for Stardew Valley, where if you have multiple chests then you can access the storage from any of them.
I would die for this!!! It's such a hassle, actually having to carry around your materials to craft, rather than store them on some "crafting materials storage" you can access at the DIY bench. I got piles of wood and rocks etc. on my beach.
