Mass construction using blueprints.

[Lumbermancer]

This is my idea from other thread.

Or make blueprints open separate camera view, like slime machine has, where you can plan everything by laying down pipes, walls, wires and stuff. Then upon exiting you would see outlines of stuff you placed, and slapping your tools against them would finish the construction, if you have materials in your backpack of course.

copyright alright

And Fortune Ray said it's a good idea, and that's all validation that could I ever need. All my good ideas get implemented, so do it. I'd play CE more. Imagine constructing meme engines and repairing bomb damage instead calling shuttle.

what if you can do the outline thing with any sheet of blueprint paper after you've (drawn) the design on it. you could even perhaps add blueprints to the library console and then print them at later dates.

maybe even make this an "architect" job who can take sheets of construction paper, use them (which puts him in camera view in a blue "blank paper" world to slap the imaginary outlines on then when he exists this view he'll have designed the building/schematic

Seems like a blueprint overlay would be neat to have with engineering scanner goggles, it would be nice to see how that station was supposed to look when making repairs, so you can see what is missing.

I like this idea.

Doesnt goon have this?

They have a machine that can build pre-built rooms from a blueprint yeah. You can copy a room to a blueprint and build it over and over with the machine but it is rarely used and the blueprints dont actually carry over rounds.

This is a good idea, and it should be added.
