I want a mod that would add a hotkey. While holding down the set key an item in hand would only be plopped on the map if there is a ghost of it that completely matches it's position. This way blueprints could be more easily used before you get robots for actually building your base instead of just using them as planning tools.

There are mods, who behave a little different, but also make the Blueprint QoL in early game better:

• Nanobots
• Bluebuild
• Bluebuild rewritten (this one is mine)

There are other mods, which give you a small armor suit with a robotport and a few bots.

Picker Extended mod has this feature


Q to selected the "ghost" if you have it in your inventory pressing Q again will revive the entity, Position doesn't have to be perfect just the entity has to match the ghost and magic happes
