BuildToMeEnhancer

Description
BuildToMeEnhancer
Target Branch: Mainline

This mod changes the "Build To Me" feature to obey the orientation of every block when placed.

  • Ctrl + LMB triggers Build2Me with the orientation of the targeted block
  • Alt + LMB triggers Build2Me using the orientation of the player (looking direction)

    Client side mod, you can use it on a server that does not have this mod installed.

It replaces decorative blocks unlike original "Build To Me"...(((

Update please!!! Doesn't work anymore.

Indeed, Pipes have a different orientation, so they 'just work' - you can safely skip your mod on that block.

Just had a thought. If you changed it in the way I've suggested, you wouldn't have to worry about modifying it to take into acount any future blocks, because it would already figure that out based on the first block's orientation. If it already more or less works like that then cool.

The time you save building your parallel setup will be spent on building additional blocks when you build single lines, which i would say, is the much more common case for everybody. (the hoppers and autocrafters in your example dont even care about orientation, so you only save time on the 1x1xN conveyor line, which in most cases will be a 1xNxM conveyor line where you can use BTM from the other direction (lots conveyor lines going into parallel conveyor->hopper->smelter->hopper setup))

Place a stacked/side-by-side production line of say conveyors, hoppers, autocrafters, hoppers, conveyors and so forth. You'd only have to build the first line by hand, and then you could just BTM as many other lines as you wanted. (I build in incrediably high numbers.) Mostly the change would help building things in a parallel configuration along with the more common consecutive configuration of conoveyors, tracks, and just plain building blocks.

If its more work than its worth then I don't mind. Was just a thought on how you might improve that already great mod. Thanks!

The only reason i can imagine why the pipe doesnt work is: it has a different default orientation (which makes me wonder why). But i dont have the DLC so i cant test it.
Your BTM suggestions would mean i have to build one ore more additional blocks in 100% of the situations where i use BTM. While i can think about some situations where your suggestions would be beneficial, they never acutally happened to me.
What are you doing where your way would be better?

Doesn't work on Heat Conducting Pipes.
A small change/addition I suggest would be to have BTM match the orientation of whichever blocks its pointed at. You'd place the first block, then use BTM to build the rest of the line in the same orientation. Thanks.
