Long Reach.
You can interact with most entities in the game far away. You can even use the map and zoom in and interact this way, as long as there is radar coverage.
Several mods call force.reset_technology_effects() in on_configuration_changed so that if recipes have moved around, then they will be correctly locked/unlocked, but this also resets reach bonuses, so you need to re-set them by responding to this event.
