This time something smaller but still interesting!
Update v1.8 introduces copy/cut/paste/blueprints functionality and more tweaks on how the storage works! More info below:
Changes
- New: Copy/Cut/Paste added - as before, you can select nodes but now also - use CTRL+C to copy them (or CTRL+X to cut) and CTRL+V to paste. You can see the price of nodes that you want to paste - you can do this only if you can afford it.
- New: Blueprints/schematics - there is a new view where you can save your copied nodes layout (cross save) and paste them later in the game or in other runs. Blueprints are also copied to the system clipboard (if available) and can be shared between other players as a serialized, compressed, encrypted, and encoded string! An example below.
- Improvement: storages are now sending resources to the closest requester based also on other storages. No more storage racing like the one mentioned in the previous update. They still send resources if far away and closer storage has no resources (as it is an expected behavior).
- Improvement: a mention in the wiki about resource transport - all resources are pushed by the producer nodes, not pulled by consumer nodes. It was not clear before.
Example of the text to copy-paste into the game in the blueprints view (you can use CTRL+C/CTRL+V there too):
