# Long Reach

This is a very simple mod. It just sets the reach distance to a very large

value.

## Status

This is the official fork from the original creator of the long-reach mod. It's now maintained on the mod portal again as well: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/long-reach

## Rationale

Do you ever find it annoying that you're not quite close enough to something to

place it? Are you playing marathon mode and constantly running around your base

refilling chests in the early game? Would you prefer Factorio to play more like

an RTS? This mod is for you.

If this mod is active, you can reach basically anything you can see in the

viewport. In fact, you can reach much further than that, but since you can't

scroll that far, you won't.

## Settings

You can change the reach distances in the mod settings page. By default, you

can reach just about the maximally zoomed out viewport. You can change it to allow

reaching much further (e.g. edit remote bases in zoomed-in map view).

## Caveats

Why `data-final-fixes.lua`? I don't know. data.lua didn't work. Maybe some other

mod was overriding the player prototype. This mod tries to take precedence

over all other mods that affect the reach distance. If you don't want that, this

mod is not for you.
