Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A feature I'd like to see on PI is the copy command.

Much of the manager revolves around repeated tasks that are very annoying.

The command is suggested as

A. hold c while left clicking an industry facility
B. While still holding c, click another industry facility
C. Release and repeat

Result: The client attempts to install the same product and route on the facility

Possible outcomes:

The good:
The superimposition of the facility has been successful. (basic/ adv/ high) industrial facility (designation) has successfully installed (product) and has routed it to the launch pad (designation)

The bad:
1. Attempt to copy an industry specs onto another that is not the of the same type

An error has occurred. Ongoing with the theory that squares do not fit into circles, it appears someone has attempted to superimpose industry specifications incorrectly on dissimilar facilities.

2. Attempt to copy an industry specs with routing issues (absent routes, over capacity, too many activities)

An error has occurred. We are not sure what the exact problem is but the truck drivers are refusing to drive and saying they'll wait for a serious task before leaving the donuts shop. We suspect this attitude to be the result of someone attempting to break union laws by pushing drivers to drive more then 24 hrs a day. To avoid this from occurring future, it is advised to check that proper routes are present and that they have sufficient capacity.

Instead of a copy command, I think a save command would be better. Yea you still have to click around the first time, but then you can quickly change the productions chain based on saved configurations.

You have a point, there is quite a bit lacking with the PI interface
