something like that.
If you played Brave new world, you get a ghost by selecting it from crafting menu. That something, which was pretty neat and what I missed afterwards.

This would be great.
Also, a checkbox in the crafting menu to enable displaying all items, even those not yet unlocked by research, so that those items can be selected as well.

Hello thanks for the suggestion.theqmann wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 7:23 pmTL;DR
Push E to get crafting screen, hover over building you want as a ghost in "Crafting" tab, push Q to get ghost.
Why ?
I often want to grab a ghost of a building I don't have any of in my inventory, and my hotbars are full (thanks Space Exploration). Right now this requires me to run around until I find one already placed so I can push Q on it, or go grab one out of a chest somewhere halfway across the map, or set up and delete a single unit logistics delivery to my inventory.
I actually had exactly the same idea, so it is already implemented for the next major update. And not only the crafting menu, but basically every button which is related to ID's, so logistic requets, quickbar etc. also works with that.
Including tiles in the world. (landfill, concrete etc)

I assume 1.1.59 was not the next major update.

That the dilemma of the good modder/of a good mod: if your mod becomes so successful, that it is implemented into vanilla.
Ok, most times it’s not exactly like so, but there are many examples.

Make Q on Toolbelt work like left click

I usually use Q to select my items and only go to the toolbelt when there's no matching entity in sight. Which means half the time I press Q on the toolbelt...which does nothing.
