I strongly agree with this request. Extending link range and introducing linked object groups would have real, practical benefits across multiple communities—not just for large houses or trains, but for any large-scale environment that needs to function as one cohesive build.

In the motorcycle community, for example, I own and manage a full sim with 18 separate track “boxes,” each at least 256m x 128m, all filled with continuous track layouts, terrain work, and environmental decor. Right now, each section has to be managed independently because of link distance limits. If those boxes could be linked as a single functional object—and then organized into higher-level groups—it would dramatically improve stability, consistency, and workflow.

This would also benefit:

• Motorcycle and car clubs running multi-track race environments

• Event venues hosting rotating groups and modular layouts

• Roleplay communities with large contiguous regions

• Builders creating modular cities, estates, and infrastructure

• Content creators who sell large environment kits that currently must be split into disconnected pieces

Being able to link at greater distances would reduce the need for fragile workarounds and make complex environments easier to maintain, move, and update. The ability to group linked objects would add another layer of control—allowing creators to manage entire systems instead of hundreds of individual components.

Unlinking at the group level would be just as valuable. Builders could iterate faster, swap modules cleanly, and troubleshoot without dismantling everything piece by piece.

This kind of change wouldn’t just be a convenience feature—it would materially improve how large-scale content is built, maintained, and shared across Second Life.

Hello, and thank you for your feature request regarding extending the range for linked objects and creating linked object groups. This idea has been brought up before by another resident, and we are merging your comments with the previous request to help us address it more efficiently. The original post was found in Second Life's previous bug tracking system (BUG-233302), and we will be setting it to tracked. While we don't have an estimate on when this might be implemented, please keep an eye on future updates. We appreciate your input and hope you continue to share your ideas to help improve Second Life. Thank you!
