Aside from completely preventing an inventory from being accessed... There's no way to control preferential treatment of nearby storages. They are all as valid as the others.

There is a way since S+. Simply rename the structure you want to prevent from pulling from with a "*" at the start. For example, you won't pull any oil, sparkpowder or meat from a preserving bin that is renamed in *example when using the ingrediants for other recepies. The "downside" is you won't see those structures if you wan't to pull via the cloud. The transfer remote will ignore those structures also.

Yes this is correct, but not quite what the OP is asking about.

They have multiple people playing together in the same tribe and when they use the pull mechanic they are pulling from each others storages. What I made a passing reference to, and you later got into more detail on, would not help this scenario. What you have suggested would completely lock off that inventory/storage for ALL of the players in the tribe.

The OP is seeking a way to preferentially pull from each of "their" personal storages rather than others nearby in the same tribe.

Unfortunately the pull mechanic doesn't respect ownership or preferencing beyond tribe. Any structure/dino inventory in the tribe is fair game to pull from within range.

The OP could consider allied tribes instead... But then that would impact things like AOE healing and buffs when doing shared boss runs.

An alternative to the pull mechanic is to use the transfer tool. Which allows you to specify inventory/structure/dino names in the source field. Not nearly as convenient as a single button press like the pull mechanic though.
