Important building tools the game really needs

[Planr]

Building big ships takes me forever. I can't build much of anything large (100 square meters) without it taking what seems to be like a month. It's mostly because of the really simple-to-solve problem of being only able to place individual blocks at a time.

My suggestions are these:

• Add a click-drag ability to fill in wide areas with the type of block you have equipped. (e.g you have a large area where you need to create several layers of armor)
• Add a "Replace-Fill" ability to replace all of the adjacently-touching, same-type blocks with another type of block (eg. you have a ship with an exterior hull of gray blocks, and you want to change it to hardened gray blocks quickly)
• Add a "Copy/Paste Region" ability where you can click-drag a region of your build and copy it over elsewhere.

These are what I believe the game desperately needs in order to make building large ships take less time. Building ships of a decent enough size is a serious pain in the butt; these features will work to greatly solve that problem

Game needs a turbo clicker in my opinion...

I agree with this, also there needs to be a \"Warp to core\" key or command that jumps you to the ship\'s core module, so you don;t have to leave it in a vonerable spot but still be able to activate it

We need a mirror function.

Oh fine, I\'ll ruin the sarcasm...

1. Hold down left control in build mode.

2. Learn advanced build mode.

3. ???

4. Build!
