Hover Build

Hover Build is a fork of Mouse-over Construction by raiguard. It lets you revive blueprint ghosts, upgrade, repair, deconstruct, and stock entities just by hovering over them — before construction bots are available, and afterward too.

Compatibility: this fork cannot be enabled together with the original MouseOverConstruction mod. Enable only one of them.

Features

While mouse-over construction is active (default hotkey: Shift + Y), hovering over an entity within reach will:

Construct — revive ghosts if you have the required items in your inventory.
Upgrade — apply pending upgrades using items from your inventory.
Repair — repair damaged entities while you hold repair packs.
Deconstruct — mine entities marked for deconstruction.
Insert items — fill module requests attached to ghosts, and fulfill pending module changes on existing entities, such as those from upgrade planners or pasted blueprint settings. Removed items are returned to your inventory.

Automatic module insertion is enabled by default. Ammo and fuel insertion are available as separate settings and are disabled by default.

Settings

All settings are per-player and can be changed at runtime:

Enable mouse-over construction — default: on
Enable mouse-over upgrading — default: on
Enable mouse-over repairing — default: on
Enable mouse-over deconstruction — default: on
Insert modules on mouse-over — default: on
