Idea on large blueprints - use map view

Post by Dutchfactory »

Hi there,

My first (real) post here, but I do have an idea I'd like to share with you. Although I can't imagine that this hasn't been said, I could not find it.

So, when having (very) large blueprints, you can't really control where to put them on the map; it's too small to see.

Idea: when using map-view, and holding the blueprint as player, is it possible to see the footprint of where it would be placed?

That way, you can position them a lot better imho.

Any thoughts on this?

High regards,
Fan

As far as I've seen, you can only place them when zoomed I to radar view. My solution for larger prints was to split them up into sections.

I think the main issue is that when you are in map view you can't see the things on the map unless you zoom in enough. So, even in map view you can't place properly.

The other problem is that when you scroll to zoom in/out the cursor and ghost jump around instead of staying centered on the mouse position. Extremely annoying.

But I agree with the OP, it would be a nice feature to have if feasible.
