For anyone that has played rimworld, it has a tool that allows you to mark any square on the map with a semi transparent square. In that game it's extremely useful to pre plan your base layout and gradually build following your laid out. Markings.

Only with entities 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 2x3 and 3x3.
Maybe with collision_mask = {}
Saving every created entity and destroying entity where build something about that.

btw with constructor bots, you can build and destroy very fast, with Build ghost (shift + left mouse click default)

But I haven't had the time to make it MP-compatible, though.
