Feature request/inquiry
Firstly, thanks so much for this mod. I'm about to ask for another feature, but before that: thanks, really.

At the risk of asking the impossible, is there *any* way that we could control-alt-shift-anything click to control a block group & not just the block we're aiming at? I was just fiddling w/ a piston pair and I realised I'd give anything to be able to mouse-wheel control the velocity instead of having to use the group's terminal controls.

edit:I've since realised I am a potato, and that I was actually thinking of bv's block control menu, not build info.

Thanks for replying. I've just realised that I once again am conflating buildinfo with build vision. Sorry for troubling you.
p.s. I'm still sincerely thankful for your mod though. It's at least as helpful as bv.

I would really like to see information on max thrust when i look at a thrusters. I have many modded thrusters that dont provide the information and it would be nice to compare

Can you link some, it sounds like a bug because it should print force regardless.

Yeah, what you described sounds better. I would definantly use this for measuring how long my ships are or if the user has an idea in their head of say an opening on a large grid that is say, 30 blocks wide for example, they could place a block at the start (Maybe it could be triggered to the block that the crosshair is pointing at?) and then they could just place blocks until they get to the 30 point. Maybe it could be triggered via chat command? OI course, you don't need to to do it. it was just an idea.

This is not what I meant... it's no different than a comment because it's burried in an unrelated topic and has no context, so if I read this in a month I won't have any idea what you're talking about =)

Hmm, and would be higher chances for me to see this again if it's in the main mod's discussions :lunar2020thinkingtiger:

So: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/discussions/514062285 - then on the right side "start a new discussion", titled "measuring tool" or something like that, and provide the context and all the use cases (with details, because it determines how the thing will be designed)... just assume we never talked before, because as I said I might forget the comment when I get into implementing this :(
