Planning Tool

Planning Tool is a mod that lets you plan out a layout of your base, similar to planning tools for other games like RimWorld and Prison Architect. You can use this mod to design your base before you start building, or to experiment with different ideas or layouts.

---

A new tool with convenient hotkeys to quickly lay out a plan of your base or a new expansion.



Cut or copy existing plans to move designs and help layout your base.



When the tool is selected a submenu is displayed with more features available.

• Copy or cut existing designs, and paste into new positions.
  
• While pasting a design you can rotate and flip it as needed.
  
• Change visibility of the plans, make them near invisible or toggle their visibility off entirely.
  
• Export a previously copied plan to the system clipboard, allowing you to move plans between saves or create a collection of commonly used plans.

Check out the settings page to customize the hotkey buttons for your tools. A new hotkey section is added "Planning tool (selected)" for hotkeys that only apply when the tool is selected, these keys do not conflict with other hotkeys as they take preference whenever you use the planning tool.

v1.1.0

• Add new "Remove plan" action, which replaces integration with cancel tool.
  
  • Old integration with Cancel Tool has been removed. Cancel with "All" will no longer remove plans.
    
  • Hotkey C by default while tool is active and overrides cancel tool activation, can be rebound in settings. Double check keybinds as changing the number of hotkeys can mess up other hotkeys.
    
• Mod options config file is now saved outside mod folder and persists between installations. Options will be reset due to this change.
  
• Hotkey presses should now not be processed when no other screen consumes the event
