Display robot range when ghost building rail

Post by Boogieman14 »

When ghost building train track (shift-click the direction arrow on an existing piece of track), it would be nice if the game would display the roboport range overlay.
I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It's the same, but with the letters in the correct order.

Personally I think it would be nice if there was a hot key for toggling the robot range overlay. Have to get my deconstruction planner out half the time when checking if things are in range.

I just hover over a roboport.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Sure, that works, but it's more convenient (not to mention, more consistent) if the coverage was automatically displayed when setting up commands for robots to perform.

I dunno. In my opinion it could be sometimes very annoying to always this overlay.
