Auto switch to ghost placement

Post by Epb7304 »

TL;DR
When placing a machine out of range of the player automatically place it as a ghost

What ?
When placing entities (machines, belts, etc) and the cursor is out of range of the player, automatically place the building as a ghost

I would imagine this would be a togglable setting as well
Why ?
Reach is frustratingly low later on in the game, especially when you have personal construction bots, so instead of getting the message "cannot reach" the game should instead place a ghost in its place. This would allow a players bots to build the machine for them

In map view this should absolutely be the behaviour.

Would need to try it during burner city stage to see how I feel about it as non-map behaviour.
