Mining while holding blueprints

Post by TuckJohn »

This is quite simply a request to allow you to mine objects (like trees and belts) while holding a blueprint. I always find it annoying when I have to press 'q', mine thie single belt, and re-select the blueprint from my hotbar.

Why do you need that? I ask, cause you can press SHIFT while placing a blueprint and all trees in the way will be removed before. What's in my opinion is missing is that the stones are also removed.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Like if I am duplicating a part of my factory I find that there sometimes happens to be a power pole or two in the way. This is just an annoyance with a "why?......" centered around it. I dont see any downside to allowing mining with blueprints in your hand.
Also, how hard would it be to add this? Wouldn't it be a simple deletion or addition of a line of code?

I've been annoyed by this as well, would be a useful addition.
