So right now I’m learning the range of transmission posts. But what is the range of crafting tables to stockpiles and vice versa? I always struggle in the earlier game planning out the size of rooms and how close stockpiles need to be. Sometimes I’m moving resources from one stockpile to another just to get in range of my crafting tables. Like I have a road of five spaces in between two buildings and one is for my early game, stuff and bedroom and research table in the building across the street is when I start using the sawmill and getting tier 2. Then right next to the tier 2 building is a lumber stock pile but I can’t seem to get everything and range of the stock pile so I have to build one next to my early game building.

At some point, I just want to build a tall tower with stock piles and crafting rooms and use an elevator to move from one place to the next

Just be aware that an increase of stockpile range is able to exponentially increase performance issues, as stockpile links are one of the most taxing things, we hence also don't accept performance reports with vastly increased ranges. The setting has a warning about that as well.
