</>What does Longer Reach & Faster Placing do?
Brick by Brick makes you stand within 3 metres of every slot and waits 0.3 seconds between placements, and the inner bricks of a tall building can be maddening to get to. Longer Reach & Faster Placing stretches both. Switch on Reach & Placing Enabled, set Reach from 1 to 5 times normal (it starts at 2) and Placing Speed from 1 to 6 (it starts at 3, a 0.1 second gap). Continuous Building Without the Skill lets you hold the button and keep laying bricks. You still have to stand inside the building's site area, as always. The host checks every pickup and placement, so it works fully in solo games and when the host and the player both use it, and it speeds up loading the Hand Truck too. In someone else's town it stays off, and in a town you host that world becomes a practice world. Switching it off restores everything.
</>What is Longer Reach & Faster Placing?
Longer Reach & Faster Placing changes two of Brick by Brick's tightest limits. Reach multiplies the 3 metre distance for picking up, placing and removing bricks, so inner rows and high courses come within range. Placing Speed shortens the Placement Interval, and Continuous Building Without the Skill lets you hold to keep placing. Site areas and the lower rows rule still apply.
</>Common questions about Longer Reach & Faster Placing
What does Longer Reach & Faster Placing do in Brick by Brick: Tidy Up the Small Town?
It loosens the two limits you feel most while building: how far a slot can be from you and how long you wait between bricks. Set Reach and Placing Speed, keep the Continuous Building option on if you haven't bought that skill, and switch the mod on.
Can I place bricks from anywhere now?
No, you still have to stand inside the building's site area, the zone around each building where placing is allowed, and the game still wants lower rows finished before the ones above them. Reach only changes how far a slot can be from you while you're in that area.
Do my friends need it?
For the full effect, yes. The host's game checks every pickup and placement against its own distances, while each player's game decides what they can aim at and how quickly they can send the next brick. When the host and a guest both run it, the guest gets the longer reach and faster placing too; if only the host runs it, guests keep their normal reach and speed. In a town someone else hosts, it stays off for you, because their run might still count for the leaderboard.
Does faster placing break anything?
No. Each brick still goes through the game's normal placement, with the same animation, checks, skill points and section rewards. The host also never accepts two placements closer than 0.05 seconds apart, so the setting only shortens your own wait.
What options does Longer Reach & Faster Placing include?
Continuous Building Without the Skill
Lets you hold the place button to keep placing before you've bought Continuous Building.
Reach
How far you can pick up, place and remove bricks, as a multiple of the normal 3 metres.
Placing Speed
How quickly one brick follows another. At 3 the 0.3 second Placement Interval drops to 0.1.
Reach & Placing Enabled
Master switch for reach and placing speed. Switch it off and the game's normal reach and Placement Interval return.
Longer Reach & Faster Placing is a ProjectMods mod for Brick by Brick that extends your reach from 3 metres to as much as 15 and cuts the wait between placed bricks from 0.3 seconds to as little as 0.05.
System Requirements
What features does Longer Reach & Faster Placing include?
- Reach from 1 to 5 times the normal 3 metres, for picking up, placing and removing bricks.
- Placing Speed from 1 to 6, taking the gap between bricks from 0.3 seconds down to 0.05.
- Continuous Building Without the Skill turns on hold-to-place before you've bought it.
- Loads the Hand Truck faster by the same amount.
- Keeps the game's own rules: the site area and finishing lower rows first still apply.
Best For
- The last bricks of the Tower sit just out of reach of every spot you can stand on, so set Reach to 3 and place them from the floor below.
- Laying a long wall one brick every 0.3 seconds feels slow, so set Placing Speed to 6 and hold the button down the row.
- You're early in a new world without Continuous Building, so leave Continuous Building Without the Skill on and keep Placing Speed at 3.
