Quick, easy, and smart map tags

Map Tag Generator adds a new selection tool to create map tags with a single click (and drag). Simply select a group of related entities, and the generator will take care of the rest.

The generator can create multiple tags for a single selection:

The mod now offers a dialog window when creating tags to customize the settings however you would like. This window is optional, so if the default settings are fine for you, you can turn it off for a faster experience. You can hold shift while selecting a region to force open the GUI, even if it wouldn't open otherwise.

Supports many entity types

Representative tags can be created for the following entity types:

• Assemblers (including furnaces, chemical plants, rocket silos, etc.)

• Labs

• Power generators (such as steam engines and solar panels)

• Accumulators

• Resources

• Turrets

• Train stops

• Agricultural towers

• Cargo landing pads

Each of these categories may be toggled on/off individually.

Map tag eraser

This tool can also be used to quickly delete map tags. Just right-click and select a region on the map, and any tags inside will disappear. (This tool only works in map view, while zoomed out far enough that tags are visible.)

The mod now offers a dialog window to select which tags you would like to delete before confirming.

Use this tool with caution, as there is no way to undo tag deletion (besides loading an autosave). The mod offers settings to restrict tag deletion to only the tags generated by the mod's generator tool, so you don't accidentally delete handmade tags. For multiplayer, there is a per-map setting that restricts all players to only deleting tags that they themselves created with the generator tool.

Controls

No research or crafting is necessary to use this mod. The tool is found in the shortcuts next to the toolbar, and can be accessed by the hotkey Shift + T (by default).
