The purpose of this mod is to speed up development of blueprints, particularly
for rail junctions.
Usage
Craft a "Symmetry Center" item. Place it in the world as a "Symmetry Center"
entity. Place some entities nearby and see them duplicated around the center.
Remove those entities and the duplicates will be removed.
Configuration
The Symmetry Center entity is a constant combinator. Setting signals within it
will control its behavior as follows:
- C
Move the center of symmetry to a corner/edge of the tile. 0 = north edge, 1 =
northeast corner, ..., 6 = west edge, 7 = northwest corner. - D
Set the max distance from the center to copy entities. Default is 64. Negative
numbers are circular distance, positive square. - R
Rail entities are always placed on a 2x2 grid. This setting controls whether
other entities honor that grid. -1 is never. 1 is always. 0 is not until a
rail entity is placed then it automatically becomes 1. When this is enabled,
the C signal center calculation is based on the rail grid (as if the center entity
is 2x2 instead of 1x1). - S
Type of Symmetry. 0 = None. Positive = rotation, 4 and 2 are useful, other
numbers are just pretty. Negative = mirror, -1 = east/west, -2 = north/south,
-3 = both. - item
Positive signal will copy only the signaled item(s). Negative signal will
exclude the signaled item(s) from copying.
