</>What does Long Arms (Reach From Afar) do?
Havendock has you building platforms out over the sea, fishing crates out of the water, and snagging bits and pieces from every corner of your dock. Trouble is, you have to be right on top of something to reach it - so you spend half your time shuffling into position. Long Arms fixes that. Turn on Long Reach, dial in how far you want to stretch, and suddenly you can lay platforms further out, grab floating items from the shore, and collect resources across the water without paddling over to every one. Your whole dock comes within arm's reach. The Reach Boost slider decides how far you stretch. Leave it low for a gentle helping hand, or crank it up to reach clear across your build - whatever feels right for the way you play. It's a simple toggle: flip it on when you want the extra reach, flip it off to go back to normal. Great for laying out big builds quickly, tidying up floating clutter, and pairing with your other building and quality-of-life mods.

</>Common questions about Long Arms (Reach From Afar)
What does Long Arms do in Havendock?
Long Arms is a Havendock mod that stretches how far your dock-dweller can reach. Normally you have to be right on top of something to interact with it, so you spend half your time shuffling into position. Turn on Long Reach and that changes: you can lay platforms further out over the sea, grab floating crates and items from the shore, and collect resources across the water without paddling over to every one. The Reach Boost slider sets exactly how far you stretch. It's a simple toggle, so you flip it on when you want the extra reach and flip it off to go back to your normal range, bringing your whole dock within arm's reach.
How far can I set the Reach Boost slider in Long Arms?
The Reach Boost slider in Long Arms controls how far your reach stretches in Havendock. A value of 1 is your normal range, and higher numbers let you build, grab and collect from progressively further out. The mod suggests trying 3 for a comfortable boost that noticeably cuts down on shuffling without feeling silly. Leave it low for a gentle helping hand when you just want a little extra convenience, or crank it right up to reach clear across a big build. Because it's a slider, you can tune it to match how you play and adjust it whenever a particular project needs more or less reach. Turn Long Reach off and your range returns to normal.
What can Long Arms actually let me reach, building, grabbing, or both?
Long Arms extends all of your close-range interactions in Havendock at once, not just one. With Long Reach on, you can place and build platforms further out over the water, pick up floating crates and loose items from the shoreline, and collect resources across a gap without walking right up to them. In other words, the three things you normally have to stand on top of, building, grabbing and collecting, all get the same extended range set by the Reach Boost slider. That's what makes it such a time-saver: rather than repositioning for each action, you handle a whole area from one spot. Flip the toggle off and every interaction returns to its normal distance.
Why would I use Long Arms, and does it pair with building mods?
Long Arms is for anyone tired of shuffling around their Havendock dock just to reach the next thing. It shines when you're laying out big builds quickly, since you can place a run of platforms without constantly repositioning, and when you're tidying up floating clutter that would otherwise mean paddling to each piece. It pairs naturally with other building and quality-of-life mods, for instance a building helper that removes resource costs while Long Arms lets you place those platforms from further away. Because it's a clean on/off toggle with a tuning slider, it slots into almost any Havendock setup, giving you extra reach when a project calls for it and staying out of the way when it doesn't.
Does Long Arms change anything when I turn it off?
No, turning Long Arms off simply returns your Havendock character to its normal reach, with nothing left behind. It's a straightforward toggle: while Long Reach is on you build, grab and collect at the extended distance set by the Reach Boost slider, and the moment you switch it off you're back to standing-on-top-of-it range exactly as the game intends. Nothing about your island, your resources or your progress is affected either way; the mod only ever changes how far your interactions reach. That makes it easy to flip on for a big building session or a clutter cleanup, then flip off when you'd rather play at the normal range again.
