Blueprint Book Checkbox: Global Rotation

Post by TrojanEnder »

I'd like the OPTION (via checkbox) to have Blueprint Books rotate all contained blueprints together whenever you rotate one of them.

Ever have a blueprint book with many belt balancers of all obscure combinations inside all ordered and named properly? Ever in a situation where you are scrolling through said balancer book to see what will fit your current setup only to discover every time you scroll to the next blueprint there is a new random rotation? It's incredibly frustrating to have to rotate each one as they come up to see if they are the right one.

Not anymore!

Introducing the Global Rotation Checkbox!

Located within each blueprint book when checked would rotate all the blueprints together. Rotate one balancer to the desired direction, line it up, and Scroll Away! Now everything is lined up with no hassle! Easy to find the right blueprint in no time with no more tedious rotating!

I suggest that the blueprint locks it's rotation to the book upon placing it inside if the box is checked. Remove it again to rotate separately, put back in to lock again.

Useful for more than just balancers too, such as...
Strait rails with different signal spacings or number of lanes
Smeltrys of different widths and lengths
You get the idea

It's a simple addition left unchecked by default, but it would make those that use it really happy.
