Hi,
Has there ever been any discussion to having a Pause key/command ? Would be handy for periods when designing layouts, planning etc.. to avoid having to deconstruct a bunch of things ?

Thanks

Yea, I want to add one eventually

Ok, great, looking forward to that then, thanks

this would be great for this mod (see also the other discussion "Race to build ..." for this mod: currently the quick option "enable personal roboport" toggles between bots and drones, thus can disable all helpers if you have no bots) but also for the entire vanilla game (also pause belts, assemblers and just everything). but for the entire game, it would have to be well thought through to avoid side effects (the least of which would be some complications on timing speedruns :-) and thus probably won't be implemented before version 2.0 ...

Could you simply read the enable/disable personal roboport toggle?

I did that before, but the button shows as disabled if you don't have construction robots, so it was causing confusion.
