We need a bigger radius for storage chest access so building bigger base's  is more feasible.

it'll make it easier to use supplies without having to transfer items to different areas.

Yes, please!

if your building a replica of the Palace of Versailles (analogy for insanely huge like peeps do) then having a Build from Storage Distance option in the Custom Game Settings menu, when it comes, would be great for builders, maybe have the G1 original 20cm, the G2 standard 40cm, then have say larger at 80cm, then extreme at 160cm, then infinite. Honestly I feel a setting like this would appease everyone 

Well, what is the actual distance in 1x1x1 / 1m blocks from a storage to a crafting table right now?

And to be quite honest, I second that request, because I got an 11x11 base with the crafting table in the middle and seem to already have problems with chests in the corners. Or the crushers / spindles getting resources automatically. I don't know how this would impact performance, especially on servers tho. Maybe a 20x20x20 or so would be good for the game, but bad for the performance? Nah, cannot be too hard, even Minecraft does that with mods easily and without draining the server of its juice.

Yes pretty please I like building big bases and this is quite frustrating.
