📋 About This Mod
When you approach a crafting station (alchemy, smithing, enchanting, cooking) you can press the Ready Weapon key (R with keyboard, X with gamepad) to access that workbench's container. Anything you put in that container, will be auto transferred to you when you use that workbench, and the excess is returned to it when you're finished. This will cut down on your inventory management.

Recommended Mods
Goes well with Quick Item Transfer, so you can drop all items of relevance to your crafting into the container. You can see me using it in the preview video to drop all ingredients at once.
Compatibility
This mod does not touch any vanilla records, and should be compatible with everything. This includes mods that add new workbenches (like new land mods), or mods that modify the workbench models / game records. All of them can still have their own containers.
File is ESP-FE so it does not take up a slot in your load order.
If you encounter issues, please report.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 159 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- Solves the hassle of running back and forth to storage.
- Simple concept that fits seamlessly into gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter workbench behavior or add new crafting stations.
- May not be compatible with mods that overhaul inventory UI.
- Limited to container functionality—no other gameplay changes.
For players who hate juggling inventory and want to dump materials at their crafting stations. If you're a builder or crafter who spends hours at workbenches, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer vanilla storage mechanics or use mods that already add similar functionality.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible—mods like this can break after updates.
- If you use other workbench mods, test in a new save to avoid conflicts.
- Remember that items stored in workbenches are accessible from any workbench of the same type.
