[Request] A button to center station inside the plot

Post by jojorne » Wed, 7. Jun 23, 18:00

For the "Construction Plan Actions" there could be a button to center the station modules within the plot but that might not work...
So the function could be added to the context menu when you right click on a module, it would affect the whole sequence. Welp, idk...

There is a workaround:
place the first module, export construction plan, open it with an editor, delete the position line, save and import again and load it.
I would really like a shortcut though, a numerical position input for example.

Oh and it would be nice to NOT arbitrary rotate and move a module if the snap position is blocked, make it red and I rotate it in place but DON'T shot it on the other side of the plot.

I'll settle for centering the FIRST module built. Or a right click and it centers any module you want, don't know how that's useful though, unless you just want to cram everything inside each other...

Yes to at least one of these, please.

I support this.

The workaround works, thanks ubuntufreakdragon.

Another sorely missing feature along the same lines (to the point where implementing it might make the centring feature unnecessary) is the ability to link unconnected station modules so you can move them as a unit; whether this is by having a 'link' button to mark them as a sequence or by implementing multi select where you can select any number of modules at the same time to move/rotate them together.

Right now the only solution to this issue is tricking the station editor into thinking they're connected modules, or manually editing the xml.
