[QOL Request] Station Builder

Post by Sentinel-Ghost »

Please Egosoft, improve the Station builder- its driving me nuts.

I'm either fighting the camera, fighting the auto-snap or fighting the auto-group/sequence selection the WHOLE time :evil: :rant:

Because the 'Rotation gizmo' scales when you zoom in or out, trying to select even a single component to move it (without roatating it) can quickly become frustrating.

Becaue the auto-group selection is based on the order that you place things (I think?). When adjusting things or trying to move a whole section all together - unless you manage to find the exact component that everythig is grouped around - your're often left with bits left unconnected or left behind. Even then it auto snaps to what ever component its grouped to which is'nt always useful. (it rarely is)

- Please just let us 'shift click' select componets we want to group together- and choose which snap point we want to use/connect.

The camera can be so restricitve particularly if you are building along the Y axis of the Plot. I'm still not sure what the camera locks onto but it often slows the zoom function to a crawl making component selection difficult.

A hotkey to turn off the transform gizmo would be helpful. As is if I have issues I turn it off first then drag the things around.
