What does this mod do that the vanilla clone function doesn't?
- Copies the signal state inside a circuit network.
- Copies a reference of the cables connected to entities. When you want your clones to be connected with one another, this is a life saver.
~- Copies trains more correctly, trains on curved or diagonal sections won't get flipped around.~ Note: this has changed and trains no longer flip on diagonals. But they still break if moving. This has been made more reliable than the vanilla clone but still cannot be 100% reliable due to quirks of the rail system rolling-stock placement.
- Can copy a configurable number of times, in custom directions.
- Makes sure inserters pick up or drop off to the proper containers.
- Can quickly iterate on designs with /autoclone
