Description:

This mod lets you copy and paste multiple buildings at a time.

There are 3 types of placing the buildings:

  • Relative (Rel): Paste with relative links to the new entities. All registers that contain selected buildings will be updated to the new buildings.
  • Original (Orig): Paste with links to the original entities. All registers that contain entities will be preserved.
  • Reset (Reset): Paste reseting entity links (only the references between the selected entities). All registers that contain selected buildings will be empty.

The buttons are located at the bottom left of the screen when more than one unit is selected.

All buildings will be built at the same time when all the constructions sites are ready. Visual register will change to green when ready, and to yellow when some unit is preventing the construction.

Known limitations:

  • Only buildings that can be made into blueprints can be copied
  • The visuals while pasting don’t match the buildings
  • No upgrade functionality
  • More than 100 buildings at a time may cause some lag or 1-2 seconds freeze while constructing the buildings. I’ve decided not to limit the number of buildings, but use it with responsibility.
  • Bigger factories may need some help to disband the bots from the construction sites.

Future functionality:

  • Library
  • Sharing
