For worktables, under task details, there are the options to drop the item on the floor or to take it to the best stockpile. Suggestion: add the option there to take products to the nearest stockpile that accepts that item. Why? If the crafter drops the item on the floor, it gets put wherever, in the way. It becomes clutter. If the crafter takes it to the best stockpile, it may be quite a walk, one item at a time. So, add the option to take to the nearest stockpile (that accepts that item). That way, a player can place a lower-priority stockpile near the worktable, out of the way, allowing the crafter to drop items in a nearby designated location, which allows more efficient crafting and allows others to haul the items based on priorities within stockpiles.

I don't know if this has been suggested, but ...
Currently, when I left click on a stockpile or zone, it tells me the name of the zone in the bottom left box. The rest of the box is empty. What if when I clicked it, it also listed all the items in that stockpile or zone? For long lists, it could either abbreviate the items into groups, or be scrollable when the cursor is in the box. (Sometimes, when looking through my trade ship stockpiles, I will scan the screen for a while before finding the item I want to select.) Perhaps, within the list in the box, we could click to select an item or group of items within that zone, as well - or, even just put our cursor on the item in the list to highlight the item in that zone. Perhaps it could also give a count of items within that stockpile.
Thanks for the many, many hours of fun!

Though it may seem counterproductive, there are times when I would like to have an "Allow Sowing" button for hydroponics basins so I can disallow sowing when I don't want them to be replanted immediately, just like regular growing zones. Sometimes I miss the harvest/replant or both happen simultaneously and my pawns do all that sowing when I don't want the product. This is my first post on these forums. Absolutely love the game. Thanks for all you do, Tynan!
