Cloning and Lights

Postby Ruin » Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:48 am

I have an issue with the clone tool (a must for me in the late game) in combination with automatic light generation foundations. The problems is that the foundation auto generates lights AND the cloning tool copies lights. Either one by itself is fine. But, in conjunction, if the second foundation's light are offset at all, you end up with two copies of the lights. It would be really nice to:
  • Suppress lights for a foundation without having to cancel each one individually (maybe as an option).
  • Exclude lights from the cloning process (since they are already there for a new interior space).
  • Have both options available to fit play style and situation.

I would LOVE to have no lights generated when making a room.

also for the clone tool, would be awesome if it would be bigger, and we could rotate whatever we clone. ^_^

Alpha 35 should have the lights as optional for the foundations, according to Mantis this has been adressed :D

Hallelujah.

Hopefully they'll fix the cell quality issues too but I don't want to get my hopes up.

While this is great it would also be nice if you could have an option to clone without adding new lights.

And also (but this might be more work, I don't know these things), an option to clean up lights if you have already placed out a couple of hundred too many.
