[0.15] Ghost/blueprint query tool if you don't have the item

Post by saturn7 »

With 0.15, the query ('q') tool allows us to select a building in the world from our inventory.

However, if said item isn't in the inventory, this doesn't work. It would be nice to get the option to get a ghost/blueprint from a building you don't have in your inventory, e.g. by pressing SHIFT-q.

Right now, if you want to copy a building by blueprint (which I need to do rather often), you have to get a clear blueprint, captuire the building, place the created blueprint, and then get rid of the blueprint. With the suggested functionality, this would be much easier.

This would be super useful. (It should also work for concrete/stone paths of course.)

It should be possible to get a "ghost item" in the cursor from the player's construction menu too, perhaps by shift+clicking.

This would be very nice. similarly, to be able to build/continue tracks without track on you. generally the bots place all tracks in my inventory before I get to where I'm going with them.
