Range limit for crafting in your base?!

[Lootanfall]

Why tf is there a range limit inside your base for crafting? Im building a little settlement and my plants are stored at on end, while my alchemist is on the other and i cant craft in the alchemy station because it says if have noe Aloe... If i move the station a couple of meters in the diretion of the plants, it suddenly works....

This is just beyond stupid.

Crafting inventory range should be the same as your building area.
we ran into the same problem forcing us to split up storage when we like to keep it all in one place.

200 blocks range is what I read, dont know if true

Havent reached that range yet, i guess you have to put the storage on the very edge of the base for that to happen, and i have build a lot of bases man, just put the boxes near the center, near the flame, and you should be fine. Like Frak said maybe devs will change that on release, i mean they changed a lot of things people asked for already.

Yes it's annoying and magic chests should work for the whole flame area.
But just from a realistic pov it would also make sense to arrange depending professions next to each other or at least within near proximity. So having the farm and the alchemist spread apart from each other just as far as possible would not be a wise thing to be done in the real world either 🤪😁
I had to move my main storage area to the center of my town for the same reason. But it also made sense from a logistics pov so I did not regret it either.

Our storage center is right next to the flame, the buildings on the edge of the area can not use resources from storage

This needs to be changed. Magic chests should work for your entire base. If magic chests have a range limit, it sure makes them less magical.

[Lootanfall]

It just doesnt make any sense. With a limited space for building, there should also be the same range for these chests, otherwise i could just build on big blob in the middle instead of a nice town...

I would understand such restrictions, if you could build wherever you want so you wouldnt have the chests 10km away but as it is now, its just dumb...

I guess they are reluctant to do this as flame wide storage could potentially allow you to link 4 flames to 1 storage area but I don't think that should be an issue.
there are ways to prevent this if they even should stop people from doing this.

People put a lot of effort into designing their villages, having to rethink your layout because of a restriction like this really sucks.

Whats wrong with just organizing each work area with 1 or 2 magic boxes (or more) filled with the materials that that workbench requires? That way all your materials are in range. Im fairly new to the game, but I found that farming stacks of mats isnt that difficult.

that works too but with 1 central spot to store everything you can cover all of the materials that are needed by more than 1 profession.
it also makes it a lot easier to empty out your backpack after each run when you don't have to run all over the place.
efficiency is important.

On the one hand, it simplifies the game a lot, on the other hand, it loses the interest to think and plan where to put a chest, run around your castle! I think you can't do that! Then it won't be interesting, you come to a big base at one point, do everything and move on))))
