Deleted Tab in the BPL

Post by Epb7304 »

TL;DR
next to game and player blueprints is the deleted blueprints tab, which contains any blueprint that was deleted from anywhere in that game session

What ?
when you delete a blueprint from anywhere, inventory or BPL, it goes into the deleted tab (kinda like the deleted emails tab) where deleted blueprints or books from your current session are stored until you end the session/close the game. Then the blueprints in the deleted tab are permanently deleted
Why ?
this would prevent accidental deletion of important books, so long as you notice it fast enough

This would eliminate the need for external backups. Maybe instead of in addition they could add a backup feature.

Yes, that would solve a lot of problems.
Features:
- a “flush” function will delete them completely
- to avoid problems with load time: if there are many bps in it (hundreds?) or if the sizes of the bps are very big (some megabytes ?) the game will ask to delete when adding more to the deleted
- I would call this trash
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
