Adjustable concrete/brick/landfill brush

Post by Machine Medic »

Quick quality-of-life suggestion:

Add controls to adjust the size of the brush that is used to place concrete, landfill, and bricks. Manually placing 2x-wide strips of concrete to cover a 500x500 area quickly becomes tedious. Bots take forever, even after they are maxed out.

In terms of balance, there is no reason for placing concrete to be time consuming.

X-Y sliders to adjust height and width independently from 1x up to 9x would be appreciated.

Situations that would drastically benefit from this:
  • - Building land bridges for 2x-6x rail connections
    - Covering large/mega- factory floors with stone
    - Replacing the same factory floors with concrete
    - Straightening coastlines for construction of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400MW+ coal/atomic power plants

There are two controls that partially do what you ask: Larger terrain building area (by default Numpad+) and Smaller terrain building area (Numpad-). They change the brush from 1x1 to 10x10. Both dimensions at the same time though, so no 2x10 and such.

I just create a blueprint of concrete/brick and let the bots do it. But I don't know how for landfill.

By default, Numpad - and + buttons control the brush size.
