TL;DR

Make it so Ctrl-Shift Clicking when placing a paste/blueprint shows the list of to-be deleted items.

What?

Ctrl-Shift clicking a paste/blueprint deletes whatever exists in that place (including buildings, belts, etc.) and builds the print. However, there's no indication asto what is being deleted.

In this example, I am placing a robogrid offset by one. I currently have Ctrl-Shift pressed. There's no indication that all the robogrids/power poles will be deleted and replaced: My recommendation is to include the list of items to be deleted. I threw together showing what I mean, as similar to using a red blueprint. (please note quantities are incorrect but showing the general idea.)

Why?

Seems like just a QOL improvement and to be similar to using a red blueprint when seeing what is deleted!


Thank you!
