I am not dumb.
The less you have to walk, the faster you get your stuff, that's why I do have certain stuff very close to the ladder, while leaving enough space to walk.
1.) If you spawn in one building that has enough space surrounding it, no risk of getting stuck.
2.) I got a few really stacked together stockbins there, once I did spawn in between two and got stuck, unable to move, that's the risk you take, and guess what, I am even giving out free advice on how to unstuck yourself!
First I thought "oh damn, pinata my inventory to get out of this" but then I just used an alt to place a gemcutter wheel next to the stockbin, mount it, free!
Should work with a loom, too.
3.) Back when stamp mills were slow, I had 8 of them down there because you would be able to walk with a cart past them and fill them all before the first one was finished.
After stamp mills got speed, I destroyed 6 of them (with greek fire, mind you -.-) and rebuild 2 to have 4 perfectly placed in 2*2 so I can drive a cart between them and unload the rubble into them (slightly) faster than they can chew through it even with the speed they have now.
One of those stamp mills is 3 tiles from the ladder counting the ladder as 1st tile, so basically 2 tiles away, if that were to be destroyed I'd have to burn (with greek fire, again) another one, and rebuild those 2, again, to restore the setup.
So in this case I am really not that happy with how things may turn out, maybe you can understand that.
