TL;DR
An additional "planet" you can freely "travel to" at any time, that has god mode/editor mode so that you can create and edit blueprints in an actual editor without affecting your main planets, bonus points for the dark grey/light grey grid background and something like max rate calculator/editor extensions.What ?
With the addition of extra planets in 2.0, it occurred to me that we could simply add one extra planet that is used for the editing and creating of blueprints whilst in game, without having to log out of your current save file and into the editor.Obviously keep a separate inventory for this planet, so that resources cannot be shared.
Enable god mode and the editor on this planet only, separate research from this planet and the others, or disable it on this planet all together.
Why ?
It is a quality of life time saver, my computer is 14 years old, and whilst it can run Factorio up to a point, the loading of worlds is quite slow, especially when needing to relaunch the game to activate max rate calculator and editor extensions.I often find myself having to find a location that I have sight whilst keeping the build away from the bot networks, to place a blueprint and edit it to resave it, and it just doesn't feel right to do this.
Much love <3
