Quick question: does anyone know how far away you can be from your collected items in order for them to pop up as ingredients when you use the crafting menu? I’m renovating a house and building a crafting room that has an open hall to the kitchen, when I’m crafting food or items will I be able to pull from both supplies? All items are within 14 spaces of each other. Will I need to close that distance?

So 4 tiles in any direction, so long as you can see the item 😛
