Tools and features to improve building

Building has always been one of the core features of CC, however it is very basic. There haven't been any updates regarding building features the hotkeys were added. Having more tools at a builder's disposal would be a huge time saver because as of now building is way too time consuming.
Here are some tool and feature ideas I thought of:
Blueprints - Was already discussed but I wanted to have it here still

Bulldozers - A car that looks like a bulldozer which breaks all the blocks in a 1x3x3 radius in front of the car as you drive. However this should only work in player realms.
Longer place/break reach - Not sure whether a perk or an item is best for this but having the ability to place and break blocks at a longer distance would be a huge improvement. This would also somewhat counter the constant pathing issues.
More inventory space - Yes it has been suggested a LOT before but it is indeed very needed. Either a backpack ore more packrat perk levels should be fine. There are so many new blocks that our tiny inventories cant carry at one and switching between materials constantly is a pain.
Sculpty Bomb and Remover - Two tools to help removing sculpties. Right now bombs are the most efficient, however there is collateral damage sometimes which is very annoying. Therefore there could be a bomb that only destroys sculpty and an item that removes the whole block of sculpty. (Partly suggested by iCantiWill)
Bomb Foam - Foam that marks certain blocks and makes them invulnerable to bombs. Would be very helpful when trying to get rid of certain areas of a build without messing up the rest. (suggested by Space Fetus)
Jetpack/Gliders - Was suggested before. Anyway this might be a little extra but having the option to fly or glide to certain parts of the map is faster than using scaffold and also a huge time saver. Now this should only be used by people with perms to avoid ruining certain public realms. Or at least an option to disable it completely with a block or in realm setup should be in place.

if the backpack was a wearable chest thingy, I think it should have 9 spots? It would kinda make sense if it did not add an insane amount of inventory.
But other then that +1
• Bulldozers : Can e very useful for a gigantic realm you want to rebuild entirely. +1!
• Longer place/break reach : Same here, I don't see the need of this..
• Inventory : Definitrly yes! Even if I organize my inventory, there is always a moment when i need to place a lot of decosand I can't bring them all. I usually forgot them because of this. Why not making another perks? So add levels, as requested before. Or make backpacks containers =P As suggested before as well.
• Sculpty bomb / remover : Yes, i have enough of rebuilding the area where a single sculpty block was..
• Bomb foam : Yes, why not.. More for builders but yes
• Jetpacks / gliders : why not =) A glass bridge doesn't cost much though =3
