tldr. / tldw.: this mod adds a simulation game style build menu including blueprinting and moving
I noticed that i always disliked having to juggle a ton of items and manually go around, crafting them, placing them, not even knowing half of what i could actually have because its all just lost in some storage chest somewhere.
so i made a simulation game style build menu for necesse (including blueprinting!)
Essentially, what you can do is:
- configurable hotkeys for opening the build menu, blueprinting window and rotating / mirroring actions - select from category tabs what you want to build and just place it - you can drag rows / areas to place multiple items / tiles at once - move and delete tiles and objects - create blueprints with different layers for liquid, terrain, tiles, objects and wiring that you can enable or disable at will (liquids and terrain are disabled by default) - blueprints can be named and show a list of ingredients needed as well as a preview picture of the blueprint - when pasting, you can opt to completely overwrite the whole blueprint square (by default, tiles on the blueprint that were empty dont get replaced (e.g. for having different room decorations for certain layouts so you can switch it up)) - blueprints can be exported and imported in every new game you start - blueprints can now also be exported to item to be traded with other players
- unlocks work by adding the bench that can craft the objects / tiles to your settlement (the thing you do when you want to add recipes for settlers to work on) - once the recipe has been seen the object / tile will be added to your catalogue - it also should have all placeable objects in it so you can place decorations - if the object has a recipe, by default, you automatically craft the item from materials in your inventory or settlement storage (if chest is added to settlement). this can be disabled if you dont want to spend resources and want to only check for items you actually have - you can check to not craft and to show only buildable objects / tiles and you can filter by name - you can rotate objects when placing and you can rotate and mirror multiple objects at once when moving or pasting a blueprint
-should work out of the box with any mod that adds placeable objects or tiles. which category the items will be in will depend on that mod authors categorization. things that would fall through land in the "no category" cat. - this only works for player created structures / tiles and not for preplaced stuff (on purpose). in multiplayer, every player will be able to use this mod to manipulate each others placed items as the game only seems to track if a player placed something but not who placed what. and manually tracking that myself would create a lot of overhead resulting in bad performance so thats not currently something i am going to change. - added a config file under C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Necesse\mods\BuildMenu to add the option to just skip progression entirely
I hope this helps people build nice things!
