Update for 1.6 beta.

- Support copying plans.
- Support expanding and shrinking zones.
- Support copying bridge and removing bridges.
- Default key set to C to prevent the conflict with vanilla.

Your current hotkey preference won't be changed so you may have to set it yourself once.

UPDATE WHEN?????????????????

eh hem. i have a couple hours in this game, and i have never seen this mod. this makes me sad. im going to add it now, and see if i can delete years of muscle memory from my brain. thank you.

S tier mod. should be vanilla

I love this mod!

能不能禁用一些命令，如多层mod的搬运，老是第一个q出来，也用不了，想能不能在快捷q的时候不识别这个命令

Thanks for making this mod! If I could make a suggestion, please consider pressing the Q key to pull up a geothermal generator when the mouse hovers over a geyser.

哇嗷，最近也在玩异星工厂，然后就很想用q快捷复制，但是默认的O键太远了，没想到大佬也是模仿异星工厂做的！！太好了！

Thanks for this awesome mod. I have a request, would it be possible for the Q key to bring up the smooth floor designator when the mouse is over the appropriate type of terrain? Thanks :)

This mod is amazing.

I am playing a tree loving colony and having to manually designate trees to be uprooted is tedious and horrible. This made it actually reasonable to do.

1.3.3287对建筑Q键只有拆除和卸载两个命令

Neat.

神中神

Just unbelievably stupidly useful mod, especially designator cycle thing! Thank you so much for it!

I could kiss you for this mod. Another Factorio addict that misses the controls!
Now if only we had ctrl copy and paste!

I'm at 308 mods and this is the most useful one as a former Factorio addict player

Awesome thank you!

@StarlightSovereign Got an inspiration. The latest update allows you to copy floors either.

Okay, yeah that works. Shame it doesn't work on floor! You should probably mention that in the description. It had me scratching my head! Thanks for the mod! c

@StarlightSovereign What's the expected behaviour? For some technical reasons, it can't copy the floor designator. Can you activate it when hovering over other things?

No, just hovering over floor tiles.

@StarlightSovereign Do you have any item or tab selected when pressing the key? If so, it should do nothing.

So I put this in my modlist my girlfriend and I are using and we're not able to get it to work. We rebound the key in the menu (in my case, to 5 and in her case to T) and when we press this button, nothing happens.

I can provide whatever is helpful, modlist, logs, etc, but since Hugslib logs aren't working, you tell me what is useful to you and I'll provide it!

Thank you for this mod. We really hope to get it working because it's something we'd really love to use! Thanks!

The factory must grow
Thank you so much for this mod

@synister I've pushed a potential fix for it.

Also here is my mod list if needed.

With regards to the error I'm not sure exactly how to reproduce it, it seemingly begins to occur at random with the only fix being a full game restart.

Steam deleted my link and my error message is too long to include as a comment, heres the link again with (dots).

I'm getting an error every time I try to use the pipette tool, the error that pops up each time is shown here: {LINK REMOVED}https://hastebin.skyra.pw/olocuwolax.pgsql

刚刚又开了个档试了一下，在选的时候再按一下Q键矩形就填满的，抱歉打扰了

爱不释手，但又和Designator Shapes冲突，划出来的范围是一个菱形，每次都要重新选那个矩形命令，多了一步操作，和我用来更快捷操作的本意矛盾了，好难受。还是要感谢大佬！

Build copy command is added to the start of the queue now. Due to some technical difficulties, this feature won't work for floors and carpets.

+1 to what @Mute said, would be a great addition, especially for things like floors etc.

Would it be possible to add "build same" to the cycle when pressing Q on a building?

<3

@RedPine However, this mod doesn't touch anything about zooming. When you selected something the Q shortcut will correctly rotate it. By the way, you can rebind the hotkey both in xml and game keyboard configuration.

If you are unable to zoom in or out without having a menu open or selecting something, try removing this mod.

Also, this mod does not appear to have any way to change it's keybinding, which is a problem as Q/E are the default rotate keybindings. There's no config or XML that I can find.

HSK能用吗？

Quite intuitive, easy to use, very well made. Shaves off a lot of time clicking tabs and with proper time becomes second nature, leaving you to wonder why it's not in vanilla...

貌似不支持Q键切换下一个Allow Tools命令？比如批量允许、批量斩杀。。。

Hello THANK FOR NOT spamming for donations however what is the thumbnail gif and spamming GIF FOR THUMB UP and rating?!!! XD what is that HAHA that is a tad bit silly sir! however THANK For quality of life mods :D

Got it, thank you

@g0ldheart_rr You can rebind it in game options > Keyboard configuration > Ingame Global > Pipette tool

My 'Q' key is assigned to something else. How can I change the key?

@telardo sorry you are right, the ingame shift + click function only lets you select after each click. this mod is awesome, ty!

Awesome. Does exactly what it says and does it well. Anyone playing both Factorio and Rimworld will notice that Factorio's UI has many advantages where comfortability and speed are concerned, and the pipette is one of the main reasons for this.

Простой и гениальный инструмент. Спасибо большое

Wow! Thats good... I'll try to look into your code... Because last time I work with Designator classes, I bumped into weird FPS problems...

@Jalnor Yeah, that's the typical way in vanilla. Architect - Orders - Scan for the appropriate designator you need - select it. It's much more an effort than a simple shortcut. That's the reason why I wrote this mod.

@saintbrutal I've played for thousands of hours and never heard of such a feature before. After some research, I figured out it's a hidden pick tool from Allow Tool implemented in late 2020. However, it didn't work for all designators, like extract tree, smooth surface, or harvest fully grown from Allow Tool. So I suppose there are still some reasons for using this myself.

Yeah, saintbrutal; you can already just go Architect > Orders and click/drag. Though I guess this might be useful for those who are used to doing this the way shown.
