Multiplayer pointer

[Bicdenis]

Hi,
To add a sort of pointer (with a touch or the middle mouse button) to visually communicate with the other player, to show or explain things about the factory or to localize where to build things can be really usefull in multiplayer. It can also send a signal on the minimap to ping peers and show them where we are.

yes, please!

Yes! This would be extremely useful, especially when introducing new players to the game, so they can easily tell wich building/part of building you are talking about. I hate having to run around and standing next to what im talking about.

It's already implemented in mod called "Map Ping" and it would be nice to see it in vanilla.

Thank you, tried finding a mod yesterday but failed. However it is sadly currently not available for 0.15 :'(

Valve did it with Portal 2's co-op multiplayer. Seems like Factorio's focus on the same would make it an ideal candidate for it, too.
