Absolutely love the game so far! 1 thing that I’d like to see is when you’re wanting to craft something show all available resources in your inventory in the craft menu instead of having to go to each crate and find the supplies that you already have. When you have a ton of supplies it makes it a little bit more of a pain. Similar to phone game last day on earth. This is my only “gripe” so far otherwise loving the game!
Supplies/Crafting

There are mods that allow crafting from containers. Typically it only sees containers within a certain radius. I don't think it would be feasible to see all player-owned containers in the world.
One that I know of: Craft from containers 1.0 at 7 Days to Die Nexus - Mods and community
That being said, I fully agree that this should be a feature in vanilla. I'm pretty sure they could make it work in multiplayer as well as as storage containers do have an owner, though I do see how that could get tricky. There would likely need to be a way to allow players in your party to pull from you own containers.

Thanks for the response @Syphon583! That was what I was referencing, like if I’m in a base and have 5 containers loaded down it would be cool to just craft something from those supplies. I wouldn’t necessarily want it to encompass the entire map I think that would take a little bit away from the game but to be able to craft items in the house without having to go to each crate multiple times to get supplies would be nice!

Keep in mind that even if you are playing single player, it is the same game as multiplayer. You are just not letting anyone else join. Anything done will affect both single player and multiplayer.
They can link crates that are within the same land claim block to the workstations easily enough (or link only unlocked ones to not allow using stuff from private containers). TFP knows people have asked for this and their response has been pretty indifferent. Maybe they'll add it eventually, but it doesn't seem to be a priority for them. At least for those who need it, a mod can do it. I just put names crates near each workstation that contain the items related to that workstation. There is some overlap, but I rarely have to go far to get what I need and I keep things organized so they are easy to find. Crafting from containers would be a nice QoL, but it really doesn't slow me down much to grab what I need, so I don't bother using a mod for it. Granted, I have about 25-30 crates so everything is nicely organized. Not everyone will want to do that and prefer using only dump crates.
No. The owner is the territory, not the container. And the container can be used by several players; there is a password for this.
As written above, there is a mod for single player play. But I don’t see the need for it; since childhood I’ve been accustomed to keeping everything in certain places, knowing exactly where and what is.
