Ghost building without item in inventory

Post by Boogieman14 »

Allow the player to select an item from the list of available recipes in the crafting section of the inventory screen. With this item selected, any object placed will automatically be created as a ghost building.

How do we select it? Left-click, right-click, and shift-click are already taken. Control-click to grab a stack of zero?

Middle click doesn't do anything in that crafting area yet.

Not to mention that this would also make the personal roboport less annoying.
Also, clicking on empty filtered slots and wheel-click on built buildings could do these as well.

I don't quite understand, is the purpose of the ghost building suppose to act like a planner for the items? As in, the buildings won't really be placed there, this ghost building will help the player see the layout of current or future items they wish to place in an area to help plan the layout of factories better. Is that what you are proposing?
um, hi . .

Yes. Ghost building is also known as 'blueprinting', where you show construction bots what you want built and where.

Edit: err, yep. 100% behind this idea.
