I know this has been briefly appeared in other threads, but I would like to give my go with a bit more details and ideas.
Copy and paste filters or bills or temperatures happen a lot when you play, but right now you have to do it manually (except for the stock piles). Why don't we automate the process?
- Copy/paste the temperatures (cooler and heaters) [im on 0.16 and actually i think i've seen it on the alpha 0.14) (like copy/paste storage but instead of copying the filters it copies the temperature)
- Copy/Paste on crops (like copy/paste storage but instead of copying the filters it copies the crop kind) [slightly useful, but here for consistency]
- Copy/Paste bills for every object that has bills (like copy/paste storage but instead of copying the filters it copies the bills)
- Copy object: when you copy an object it should carry the properties in the copy (bills, temp...), otherwise it is just a shortcut for building an object of the same kind.
And finally, a really interesting UI idea seen in the game Factorio:
- Copy/paste a la factorio: SHIFT+MouseLeft on object copies the properties (bills, temp or whatever), SHIFT+MouseRight on object paste those properties
