Ideas / Copy and paste everywhere
December 28, 2016, 12:45:19 PM
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

I've started a new game in A16, after some time the colonists tab has disappeared (clicking the toggle does not show/hide the bar).
My resolution is 2560x1660.
I guess this is due to the number of colonists (population 18 now), so maybe when there is no more space it just hide the bar.

The top bar is really useful, could it be made responsive and just get the avatars smaller to fit in the space available?
