📋 About This Mod
This mod includes storage containers in range (default 100m) when checking for and using resources to craft items and build structures.
There is a file with a list of existent container types created and updated in BepInEx\plugins\CraftFromContainers_BZ\allowed_container_types.json that you can edit to disable any container type. Just find the name of the container type you wish to disable and change true to false, then save the file. You will have to restart the game to make the changes take effect.
A config file aedenthorn. CraftFromContainers_BZ.cfg for this mod is created in the folder BepInEx\config after running the game once with the mod installed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Quality-of-life upgrade that saves you from constantly ferrying materials back and forth.
- Community approved with 63 endorsements.
- Updated September 2025, so it's not abandoned and likely works with the current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- The range of 'nearby' containers isn't specified, so you might still need to walk closer than expected.
- Only works for crafting and base building—not eating, repairing, or other inventory uses.
For Subnautica: Below Zero builders who are tired of swimming back and forth to storage. Perfect if you craft a lot in your base and want a smoother workflow. Skip if you prefer the survival challenge of managing inventory manually.
