Pericarditis

I'm like 99% positive it was a feature on initial release. I also did smoke a lot then, too.

I too, agree with this. I feel I have to cluster everything together and then even sometimes a certain workstation won't be able to access one type of item. Another feature I miss is, (I swear when it first released on xbox) you didn't have to have the materials on you to build something from blueprint, It would work if a chest was nearby and you could just build it that way as long as the chest had the required items in it.

I ve thought about something like this as well, great ideas!

I haven't even had this happen yet, I wonder if it has to do with my base location/accessibility?

It seems to be about every 3 in-game days. I was fortunate and after the update, there was a surveyor behind my house. Makes it easy to check when it has respawned. I could absolutely be wrong, I haven't officially timed this.

I've found using what is currently available while alternating the colors of said icons allows for each item to have its own chest, but I too would like individual icons for everything
