Quick Blueprint of just 1 item
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 8:31 pm
Right... First off, I admit I didn't even look if this was suggested or not (hey, at least I'm upfront about it! 
)
Reading up on the recent crafting speed hoopla it occurred to me that there's a function to the blueprint system I really, really want.
The ability to place a building or entity as a blueprint ghost right away without having to make an actual, y'know, blueprint item first.
So, how about when we open the crafting window we could middleclick whatever and that would exit inventory and put a ghost of that building in the hand to place?
Would be nice, right? Not having to go through all the hassle of finding that exact building you want already placed somewhere, make a blueprint to copy just that one thing, and then head back to where you actually wanted to place it.
Instead you just find it in the crafting menu, middleclick and BAM! plop it down whereever and the factory construction network does the rest. No need to carry a zillion blueprints with only 1 lamp, 1 assembler or 1 power pole, etc around.
