Issue: When constructing very large space platforms via blueprints, the current system requires multiple passes to fully place all entities. However, unlike planetary surfaces, space platforms lack the ability to "pre-explore" or scout ahead to load the area in advance. This makes the process tedious and cumbersome.

Suggestion: Please consider optimizing the blueprint placement logic for space platforms. Allow the game to initialize all pending construction entities in a single operation, rather than requiring repeated manual interventions.

Benefit: This change would significantly streamline the building process and provide a much smoother, more enjoyable user experience when expanding large orbital structures.

Thanks for your trouble.

Bump. This is a minor annoyance but it seems easy to implement and universally helpful.
