View contents of stockpile, value of bins

(1/1)

Derakon:
Pretty straightforward - it'd be nice to be able to view the contents of a stockpile, so I can see e.g. which ones are close to capacity, where my hydra skins are, and the like. It'd also be nice, when looking at a bin, to be able to view the aggregated value of the items in the bin (and each item's value in the column listing all the things in the bin), just as you can on the trading screen.

Nukeitall:
Additionally I'd like to see the storage lists be less worthless then they are now. Autoclaiming the stone makes me annoyed.

Draco18s:
I'd also like to mark items for dumping and melting from the bin inventory list instead of the bin itself.

The value in knowing what all is in a stockpile is mainly in knowing how well-stocked the stockpile is and if you need to rebalance things any. Thus it's mostly useful for stockpiles that are binned and approaching capacity, so you can easily check if you need to rebalance things or tweak the stockpile settings. As an example, I have a stockpile next to my smelters/forges that is absolutely full of bars. That's 42 bins, all full. It'd be nice to have a straightforward way to see what's in those bins without having to look at each one in sequence.
