TL;DR
Let us place modules remotely like we can locally.
What?
When in remote view and holding a ghost module, let use place a single module by pressing "Z" like we can when we do it locally.
Why?
Currently, if we want to place at least 2 different module types into a machine, we have to open up the building and place the modules manually in each slot rather than just hovering over the building and pressing Z. In several cases, being able to drop in a module with Z is more convenient.
Allow use to use "Z" to place modules one at a time in remote view

+1 from me, also. I would personally use this for placing 3 efficiency 1 into a big miner and some more complex mixed-module setups in cryogenic plants.

At first I couldn't understand why Z - then I realized that y and z are reversed in English layouts LUL.
I mean, you don't even have to press the Z key. Just go to the remote view, select a module cmd/strg and simply drag it over the factories - I don't see that Z is better than cmd/strg.

Z / Y would be very useful if you make mixed setups, like beacons with 1 speed and 1 efficiency module etcFritzHugo3 wrote: Sun Mar 16, 2025 1:30 am I mean, you don't even have to press the Z key.
