[request] Entire Station loadouts

Post by bogate »

I think the ability to copy paste station designs would be awesome, maybe also with steam workshop integration. Like i wanna build a mega complex that produces all wares and has shipyards, so i just buy a plot in argon prime, design the station and then i save it as a station load-out (like with ships). then i just go to holy vision, buy a plot and directly select my new mega complex station, place it in the middle of the plot, rinse and repeat for each faction and BOOM finished in 5 minutes i have given all faction a ship building mega complex. This way the player can just copy paste stations designs. No more need to go back and forth between stations to see if i added all modules to my new super complex.

You can, when in build station mode you can save the design like you would for a ship. (unless they took it out in 2.0.

as for adding design to workshop idk if you can yet but I think that would be pretty cool!

The only Thing missing is the workshop element but yes, blueprints are a thing for ships as well as stations. There is a floppy disk in the top bar to save your designs.
I regularly use it for "Build Defence Station"-missions.

Regarding loadouts - it would be nice for bigger plexes to set loadout for all the same module types at once though.

What we also need is when selecting a group of modules and right clicking, there is currently a copy selection.

They need to add a “Save grouping” so I can load up a wing of modules to be used on other stations.

My thought process here is even when I save a core layout I like and plan to reuse, If I plan to add the food/medical/hab modules to a station, I most likely don’t want to build out 5-10-15k employee housing first. I’d like to add those on in increments during different phases of production modules being built.

If I could just load a previously built “wing” of a complex, I can snap it on when I’m ready to add it.

Did you try the copy command? I am not sure if it copies the module loadout as well.

It does, but that's not the same, having to copy already placed modules can get inconvenient in short time as you progress with the design.
