Wooden crates are accessible from further away which makes stashing crates almost completely obsolete. If they're accessible from this far away i could see problems with them being accessible through walls. Unless you bury stashes, which in my experience is unsustainable, you basically can't stash anymore. Now i'm not sure if this is a bug or not but if it isn't it should definitely be reverted.

New discovery is they seem to be easier to see only when you're looking in their direction

Just walk up to a crate and it's accessible from 3 to 4 times further away

Normal crate behavior
