Allow you to mark zones where heartlings can work, patrol etc.
Only allow certain Heartlings to tale from a chest and certain Heartlings to put to the chest, both invidually.
Without giving you the trope reply “All of this can be modded” but adding to the suggestion, I’d say that “patrol areas” could be really useful and cool. You can kind of make them already by creating empty stockpiles, but it would be nicer to have proper ones that you can (maybe) assign a certain squad to and they’d have priority over the random patrol.
As for the chest, I think that would be too much micro-management for the “standard” Stonehearth experience… but if I could suggest a way to have “default” support for this I’d say to add a “personal chest” item (or something like that) that can be owned - just like beds.
