As titled, I want to know if there is a simple command or mod that allows you to select something further away than standard, currently you have to be standing near something and it ca be a pain, is there any way of quickly altering the characters reach, double would probably be enough but anything would be an improvement

Double Reach mod.

IMO Long Reach is way over the top.
Double Reach allows you to work on the trackside without constantly getting killed by passing trains

Code: Select all
/c game.player.character_reach_distance_bonus = 10

You don't NEED mods for this. When bot tech comes around you will gain infinite reach through the use of blueprints and roboports.

They mean probably so you can do it yourself without the wait. With the map I'm playing, this is going to be very useful!
(Yes, I know I'm replying on a 2-3Y old thread, but just clarifying the command's usefulness.)
(Also, this command no longer works. It won't display an error, but the value will not be edited.)

This is the new command:
Code: Select all
/c game.player.force.character_reach_distance_bonus = 10

The old command works just fine. I use it every day. Maybe you just want a bigger number? 10 tiles isn't that much.
