concrete and landfill size

[pieterhulsen]

Hello all,

This is the tiniest of iritations and not that important and im sorry if it already has been suggested or discussed.

But my irritation is that i tend to have a preferred size for my concrete laying by hand and landfill.
So having to press '+' every time I load the game is a tine anoyance.
Could the size you have for landfill and concrete not be saved within the save?
when you stop laying concrete and start later it still has the same size, why not after logging out and coming back?

As said a tiny irritation but still...

Greetings,

Pieter

Y its stupid...

and WHY the fu** we use NUM+ ?...

can't it be done with mouse wheel?...
for example if you are holding any "tile" you can change size instead of zooming world map

Code: Select all

	
case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
	if( GET_WHEEL_DELTA_WPARAM(wParam) > 0 ){
		TileSize++;
			}else{
		TileSize--;
	}break;

or if player hold shift and use wheel then instead of zooming we change "tile paint size"
to do stuff like this we need only like 5 or 10 lines ...

and because i love level design i lost a lot time to change tile paint size cause 1. im using every single possible tile for building

1. Refined i place for every single building ( Wall, ASM, Lab, Rafinery )
2. Concrete is for inserters, belts, pipes etc.
3. Bricks are everywhere where is no building
ofc. bricks are also decorated with other tiles ...

but for example i want to build ground for Rafinery so i need 4x4
now i want to build ground for chemical plants so i need 3x3... O_O and WHY its NUM+ its so fking far away from WASD

is there any1 who play with arrows instead of WASD ??????
its probably possible to change buttons in config but im too lazy xDD

I am going to give you benefit of a doubt and assume you are actually reasonable person, because in the past I too got angry about software/games having controls I didn't like without putting any effort to find out if it could be changed (because I am lazy also) and made total asswipe out of myself when I went to rant angrily about it on the internet.

In control settings, you can rebind "Larger tile building area" and "Smaller tile building area" to whatever you want. If you rebind it to mouse wheel up/down, it'll work the way you described - mouse wheel will change the path size instead of zooming when holding "tile" item; or you can change it to Shift + MouseWheel or anything else.

I bound it to Ctrl + Mouse wheel. Works perfect and much easier to use.

Would be nice, if the current size stays after restart.

Click the setting, then hold Shift and scroll the mouse wheel.

I am glad people responded but the suggestion was not about the keybinding...

do you agree or disagree with my actual suggestion?

I was considering to split PanTobi's initial post to separate thread, but I could not find appropriate category for it. So I left it here, I am sorry for that.

I do not disagree with the actual suggestion.

Some other ideas that could be done as alternative or as combination:

Size quickbar

- when I need to landfill a lake I want maximum size
- for roads I want 6x6 size
- when I build train tracks through water I want size 4x4
- waterfill for offshore pumps needs 2x3 (=> I use 3x3 because it looks better), seafloor pumps need 3x3
- for detailed work I need 1x1 size
- ...

It would be nice if one could configure those sizes to be bound to e.g. ctrl-1, ctrl-2, ctrl-3, ...

Per tile size

Another feature would be to have the size be tile specific. So that when I increase the size for landfill to maximum it remembers that for landfill. When I select stone and change the size to 6x6 it remembers that for stone. When I select landfill again I get maximum size again, when I select stone I get 6x6 again.

And I would like to change the brush-form from quadratic to circle. Or the outline of a blueprint. Or, or, or.

Wow, that's very helpful. Thank you.

I just wanted to bump this suggestion:
Please save the tile size inside the save file, so it will be restored, when loading the save.

Please bump the right suggestion. In this case
