Remote Configuration


Allows the player to configure any machine from the map, without allowing item transfer so it maintains the vanilla feel. Allows wire placement and entity settings copy/paste at any distance. Press R to issue a rotation request, right-click to mark for deconstruction. Less cheaty alternative to Far Reach. Similar to Space Exploration's Navigation Satellite, but works entirely within map view.

b Great mod, but also very broken

1 year, 3 months ago

This mod is a great idea. Unfortunately, while it mostly works for remote configuration, it also mostly breaks normal building on the map. For example, with this mod I cannot build rail normally anymore, having to shift-build, as normal building no longer works. Similarly, when in the map view but in reach, weird things happen, such as when drag-upgrading inserters, the first inserter only gets an upgrade job, and the other inserters are upgraded correctly (you cna drag back and forth to work around this, but its vexing - dragging should not special case the first item dragged over). Or when drag-building power poles, the first power pole becomes a ghost and only subsequent ones get placed.

If all these minor bugs were fixed, this would be an absolute must-have mod.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to take a look at the interactions you mentioned. In the meantime, I think you can prevent all of that from happening by disabling the "Build ghosts in map without holding Shift" mod setting in Settings > Mod settings > Per player.

Indeed, that seems to fix most of it. Thanks for your support!
