Now that I think of it I bet the real issue is that no one thinks to convenience themselves in this way; I certainly didn't I was mod hunting for something else. What I'm trying to say is: GREAT IDEA!!

@Please Stay Hydrated:
Hehe, it's hard to get mods trending. There's a small window where you're on the "New" list, and after that it's only people searching for it. The mod does work just fine. It just isn't as nice as it sounds, since a quick auto-close is actually ALSO very nice. I find that just a small increase is really nice, but what REALLY makes a difference in my life, is my similar mod for Research Stations, called Long-range Research. It makes it so you can research and craft things from further away, AND you can use all the recipes from all Research Stations within range, instead of only recipes from one Research Station at a time!

Happy gaming!

I assume this mod is usually not working, since the convenience of it alone should mean it gets a lot of downloads and ratings

UPDATE:
- Updated mod to work with new code from Klei.

@Rey: Thanks for reporting the problem!

Best regards, Ultroman the Tacoman

Its broken I put it to range (4) and it never closes

@PlushLoler: Yes. Chests are the primary containers in DST and this works for all containers.

Does this also work when opening a chest? I am playing a paralyzed challenge and it's so frustrating when I have to come really close to the chests

Glad to hear that it's appreciated and put to good use :)

Awesome! BUILD ALL THE CROCK POTS!

Very nice, tyvm.

All new mod release! Please welcome the missing link to your perfect DST experience, "Long-range Containers". Combine with "Long-range Research" for sensational gameplay options!

Let me know of any bugs.

Sincerely, Ultroman the Tacoman
