Copy Planner?

Post by Gr1pp717 »

Is there a mod similar to the upgrade/deconstruct planner for copying? I didn't see one, which seems surprising.

e.g. I currently want to copy a large section of rail and signals from the middle of my base to optimize with RailTester/add elevated sections in sandbox. Thanks.

You should probably check the "blueprints" tips and trick in game, you don't need a mod for copy pasting parts of your base, you can even use the ctrl+C ctrl+V shortcut if you are on default settings and windows.

Make a blueprint, right-click on the item-count for everything that isn't a rail or signal, then you're left with just rails and signals in the blueprint. Save it to your hotbar and you can place it wherever you want.

This is what I do, but it gets tedious with big/messy things. Hell, I do it so often that it's gotten tedious for even minor things. I just often wish I could add things to a list to ignore or grab; like the deconstruct planner. The sandbox mod is super helpful for this, but still.

I'm about to expand missile production on a fancy-ish ship that I'm working on (https://imgur.com/kWYPyFI), but there's a nuke plant in the middle of a mess in my way. This mod would make it light years faster. If nothing like it exists, I might take a crack at it.
