"Build similar" / eyedropper function
« on: December 09, 2022, 03:12:42 am »

Now that we have mouse support, it would be possible for example to Alt+mouse click on a tile to copy the building / furniture below, so it automatically opens the same menu with the clicked building ready to be built. For example if you Alt + click on a bed, it will be the same as pressing b>f>b.
This can save repeating clicking on the menus over and over when making many rooms with common furniture faster, placing doors, copying floor patterns, workshops, etc.
What do you think?

I agree, it was something I wanted to suggest.

Most colony-builder games have a function like this, I think. So, i also agree.

I've gotten so used to this in Rimworld and ONI, so yeah, fully behind this if it's possible
