MOD [0.17.6] Don't touch my ghost! - Peaceful planning without robots

[alexk]

Hello everyone,

Decided to make a mod for a missing feature, let me know if this has been already done before or there is a similar mod, I could not find one.
Basically it stops robots from building blueprints when you don't want them to build, for example, if you wanted to plan things out before letting robots to build stuff.

Always wanted to plan something in your factory, but nasty robots won't let you place blueprints in peace?
Fear not, fellow engineer, this mod comes to rescue!
And I'm not talking about personal roboport - I'm talking about both personal and ground roboport.
This mod does not disable any robots or affect them in any way. One click of a button and you can enjoy peaceful planning without being interrupted by millions of bots.

Updated to 0.1.4 - now correctly works with save and load.

A recent update (v67) breaks some mod functionality (or maybe its intentional? maybe devs will post a reply) so copy-pasted blueprints now not cancelling robots jobs.

There is this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BlueprintLab_Credomane

But it would be nice to not have to leave the base so you can get dimensions.
