Chests and Crafting Benches need "Locks"

[frank night]

Soulmask another surival game has the ability to toggle work benches so that npcs won't store items in them or they won't take them out. I've got villagers in Bellwright taking things out of the research bench to put it in chests. I don't want them in chests I want it in the research bench so it doesnt' get used to craft something else by mistake

I agree 100% I placed some chests around the map for convenience in trading and my workers walked across the entire map and got killed by boars lol

why not simply make those chests their own outpost the NPCs wont "see"? I do that with storage that I am using outside a town to station supplies for building a belltower and village buildings and they ignore it completely

good point...i will try that..i even built multiple personal huts just to keep them from walking to them.

They gain their own raid meter and such. We should still ne able to tell npcs no.

Yeah I know they do but it is legit minimal and mine have NEVER been raided. So it was an easy peasy fix :):):):) Maybe future for locks but there are other things without workaround that I would much rather see first 🤷‍♀️
