Blueprint Footprint

Post by MostlyNumbers »

Summary:
Adds a hotkey to place landfill beneath your blueprint. Super useful for building ports, or dropping reactors in the middle of a lake.
You can get the mod here.
Features:
  • Toggle a landfill footprint for any blueprint
  • Respects items that should go over water (ie Offshore pump, modded content)
  • Landfill can be deployed by bots
Usage:
  • Press 'ALT' to toggle on or off the landfill footprint
  • Force-place the blueprint (shift + click) to deploy landfill over the entire footprint
  • When the bots fill in the landfill, deploy the blueprint like normal
Good Pairings
The mod plays very nicely with a few other aquatic-themed mods myself and others have written:
Cargo Ships
CanalBuilder
Hovercraft
Bridge Railway
Known Issues:
Other tiles (ie concrete) included in the blueprint will be removed when the landfill footprint is generated

It would really be great if one could include all the tiles in the blueprint but especially roads (stone, cement, asphalt (mod), ...). Putting water fill (if available) below (around) pumps would be great too.

There seems to be a conflict with Alien Biomes. It changes the Landfill tile from grass to bare stone. So as soon as I hit Alt with a blueprint in my hand, I get this crash:

Does this support waterfill? What I mean is that if the blueprint has an offshore pump and you place it on land then the needed water should be created using waterfill.
