Repair, Upgrade, and Craft using parts and toolkits from nearby player-created stashes (backpacks).
Are you a packrat who stores every component they find in case they need it for crafting? Do you have a backpack next to your favorite workbench carrying a frankly impossible number of fabric scraps and rotating sliding bolts? Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through your spare parts to find the exact pieces you need to make that upgrade kit?
Then this mod is for you!
Now, you can repair, upgrade, and craft using parts and toolkits from player stashes when using a workbench. The range defaults to 10 meters, but is configurable using Mod Configuration Menu if you have it installed.
Compatibility: Now compatible with BANJAJI'S CRAFTING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS V3.1 and KEEP CRAFTING WINDOWS OPENED! Not tested with GAMMA (probably not compatible).
Installation:
I recommend using Mod Organizer 2 and just installing the archive directly. To install manually, unzip the file into your base Anomaly directory.
Change log:
02 Feb 2023: 1.3a - Added support for Banjaji's Crafting System Improvements and Keep Crafting Windows Opened. No compatibility patches required.
31 Jan 2023: 1.2 - No longer overwrites ui_workshop.script. Now properly collects all toolkits in range. You can make ammo again! Thanks to IngvarrX for the fixes!
1.1 - Added MCM support
1.0 - Published

I like this very much.
If I may chip in, I'd suggest an alternative method for accessing parts from your stashes, purely on the account that some (possibly quite a lot of) people play with a very fun addon that allows travelling npcs to loot, fairly, your carelessly unconcealed stashes just as you loot others, which, having one set up 10m from a local mechanics, will most likely ending up busted pretty quick.
I find that the level of grindy busywork that Anomaly brings by default rather tedious and boring and welcome mechanics that smartly streamline things and enhance fun aspects while reducing the tedium of realism taken a bit too literally. Too much quantity, too little quality.
My suggestion would be that you simply allow access to parts present in ANY of your stashes, full stop.
If you hid your stashes well, the parts will be there and you can access. If you did a sloppy job, they may start disappearing bit by bit, and that's on you.
Fun 1, Busywork 0.
I don't think it would work if the stashes aren't rendered. You couldn't use a stash that is in garbage while being in yanov without some script magic.
bummer. how about limiting to stashes within the same map?
Or, speaking of the npc looting addon - it adds it's own, universal and paid for lockers in bases. Perhaps whatever is in the locker could be utilised?
Just spinning ideas, as I would love to tap into this mods functionality in a somewhat more universal way.
I could work on a compatibility patch that looks for those specific paid stashes by name, on the same level, and allows them as well. I put a range restriction in because it felt weird to instantly grab parts from the complete other side of the level, but ultimately I want that to be player choice.
That would be brilliant if you could.
I wouldn't worry about absolute realism. I find that best games find a good middle ground between what's realistic and what works best for games - Metro Exodus was a surprisingly good example of finding great balance between simplicity and depth, open-world and linearity. There's way too much busy work in anomaly already for my taste and if you pay for those stashes in bases (where your stuff is safe from looters but costs a renting fee) it may as well automatically work for repairs being counted as part of the same base setup and saving you further micromanagement chores.
Noon question. Would this work if I have a mod that allows me to craft stuff using toolkits?
It probably should, considering that toolkits and vices open the same menu.
Ah... Yeah I have a mod that changes these menus. I'll see if I can make a patch.
Could you post your patch? The idea of this addon is cool, but i cant imagine playing without crafting via toolkits anymore...
I wasn't successful in making a patch. The updated version is compatible.
Yep, but it seems like it overriding Banjaji's Field Workshop's mcm options, so all configurations broke.
I think this is still happening
The mod probably doesn't open the exact workbench script, since the base script also includes code checking if the owner has the toolkits. If you're comfortable with modding, feel free to diff my script against the base game to see what I changed.
I think I can make a patch. You've added a local variant stash_range. I'll see if I can patch it.
Okay, you're a genius. You replaced all the db.actor things with your stash_range variant, which means instead of the game looking for inventory to see if you have toolkits, it will look for stashes that are in range (predefined 10)
I did something that drops my FPS to 6 when in a place full of stashes rofl.
Lol. There are so many stashes in every level. I had a variant that iterated all of them and it definitely could cause a slowdown. If you're taking an fps hit, be careful what you're doing in any Update methods. They get called almost every frame.
Hello. I can offer you a free Russian translation in the MSM menu of your mod.
Здравствуйте. Могу Вам предложить безвозмездно русский перевод в МСМ-меню вашего мода.
Perfect, thanks! I need three strings: "Craft from Stashes", the option name next to the slider, and the longer tooltip when you hover over the option name.
Hello. How can I forward the translation file to you?
Здравствуйте. Как я могу переслать вам файл перевода?
Please send me a private message with the translations, and I will paste them in.
I can't send you a private message, as I've only been here recently
Не могу отправить вам личное сообщение, так как только недавно здесь
Just post them here and I'll take care of it. Thank you!
Не понятно, что этот мод делает? Причем тут тайники?

Can you make test-stash support? I'm using a mod that allows you to access a test stash by clicking on the appropriate item in your inventory. Put things in there and take them out when I need it, anytime, anywhere, a kind of portable stash.
Do you have a link to the mod? I can take a look.
Here, I uploaded the mod to the file hosting:
Files.catbox.moe
The mod uses the vanilla "bind_container.script". Take this item in the debug menu, it is in the category of backpacks. Click on it with the right mouse button. The first time the container will not open, but the inventory will simply close, you will have to click on it again. Here on the site there is a similar mod, in it you right-click on the backpack and select "open backpack" in the context menu. It uses the vanilla "bind_container.script" too. Of course, I would rather provide a link to it, only I forgot the name of this mod.
Just use the backpack workshop addon which pretty much fixes 99.999% of the broken vanilla crafting.
The one that hasn't been updated since 2020? Or is there a newer one? Anyway, that's a totally valid alternative. I just wanted the vanilla workshop experience but with parts from storage.
I think he means Michiko's/Eden's Moddb.com
I use that as well as Banjaji's Crafting System Improvements Moddb.com and Banjaji's Field Workshop Moddb.com as a base for all of my builds.
So the old one. Hell no brother, i ain't using the outdated one compared to this.
Hello good man! I want to ask you is it possible for you to make your mod compatible with these two:
Moddb.com
Moddb.com
I use the exact same two mods lol
I'm trying to reverse engineer his codes but wasn't successful.
Try the newest version. I added built-in compatibility with those two mods. I don't use Banjaji's myself, so please let me know if it breaks. It worked with the test items.
Now compatible, please download the newest version and try it!
I confirm it does work now. There's no way i could express my gratitude! Much appreciated! Thank you!!

It seems the add-on blocks any intent of crafting ammo, no matter if you got the gunsmithing tools in your backpack or in a nearby stash. I can't talk about the drug making kit, but everything else seems to be working perfeclty.
New version, fixed not getting gunsmithing tools!
Neat. I can confirm it works. Thanks!
I used the deployable crafting bench in GAMMA (I only see 3 conflicts, I don't think that is the issue?) and it picked up the items in the crafting bench's stash and wouldn't let me access the workbench feature nor the stash of the workbench anymore.
I haven't tested it with GAMMA at all. It's on my todo list.
Someone found a bug that was causing it to not count crafting tools in the player inventory. I'll be uploading a fixed version soon. Sorry for not reading comments for a while!
Hi. mod is good. everything works except for crafting ammo. writes that there are no tools for ammo. tried to take myself, tried to put in a stash next to the workbench = SHOULD NOT BE THAT TOOLS. otherwise, everything works. when to expect a fix?
привет. мод хороший. все работает кроме крафта патронов. пишет что нету инструментов для боеприпасов. пробовал взять себе, пробовал положить в тайник рядом с верстаком = ПИШЕТ ЧТО НЕТ ЭТИХ ИНСТРУМЕНТОВ. в остальном все работает. когда ждать исправления?
New version, fixed not getting gunsmithing tools!
ок. СДЕЛАЛ КАК ТЫ СКАЗАЛ -> СКАЧАЛ ВЕРСИЮ 1.2 -> теперь верстак вообще не работает. не знаю что не так, возможно это из за какихто модов других.
ok. DID AS YOU Said -> DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.2 -> now the workbench does not work at all. do not know what's wrong, maybe it's from some other mods.
А у вас случайно мод [1.5.1/1.5.2] BANJAJI'S CRAFTING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS V3.1 или его предыдущая версия не установлен?
У меня тоже такая же проблема и этот мод установлен.
The mod structure changed. If you installed my mod manually, delete the "ui_workshop.script" file. It is no longer used.
I really recommend using a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 so that updates don't leave old files lying around.
If you're using other workshop mods, just don't use mine right now. I'm working on compatibility.
нет. но у меня есть мод Keep Crafting Window Open
Not compatible yet. Really busy, sorry.
очень жду. пожалуйста дайте знать кога будет готово!
Please try the newest version. Now compatible with Keep Crafting Windows Open and Banjaji's Crafting System Improvements.
