Object copy issues
If an object is copied incorrectly or not copied at all (no objects from mods please, see other discussion) report it here. If your comment gets deleted, that means I fixed it for the next version and am using this like a to-do list.

Just wanted to report that on my game internal walls are demolished as the building foundations are completed (y'know, when all the building work that is scheduled when you place foundations is complete and you add a door, that moment). These walls are constructed, and at the end of the copying process they are demolished. Rooms are also ignored.

Edit: I have tried again using the mod and the mess happens because the step of placing a door and finishing construction of the foundations is a prerequisite. Might wanna add the step of adding one of the doors or somehow complete foundation construction before hitting the copy and paste :P

Edit #2: There's a final issue I must point out, namely that the mod copies over any existing objects (in my case it copied over the door I had already constructed to finish the foundations). Doesn't do anything messed up, there's just two identical things where there should be one. Selecting the item(s) and tapping on deconstruct/dump fixes the issue.

Hello, it is really useful mod. However it has few issue i wanted to point it out.


* When copy a room with all stuff inside it and paste it somewhere else, it does work as intented but if place where you pasted has tree or something, workers doesn't remove trees. They build over. So i can see a tree inside the room without any problem but it counts as obstacle so, i have to remove it by hand.( one by one )

* Script adds a light stick and place it on random place where you copy/paste your room.

* It doesn't show up the edge of the copied room so it will make harder to place what you just copied.

Love the mod, but one thing I've run into while copying cells is that if the "copy" cell and the "paste" cells share a wall, I am being charged for the shared wall twice and my workers are trying to build it twice. Is there a way to make the copy/paste ignore copied objects that are already in the pasre position? At one point I copied a cell and pasted 40 for them. After the first was built, I realized I had forgotten a few objects, so I placed the new objects in one cell and copy/pasted again. Well, it added the new items to all the cells, but it also readded all the items that were already present. I ended up with beds and things installed on top of each other.

After pasting a big build, all the materials and objects arrive but no workers starts the work.

Perhaps your workmen cannot access the construction site. Or, your deliveries zone isn't large enough. Also note that building huge buildings at once will generally make your prisoners slightly angry, as it delays ingredient intake, therefore delaying chefs.

Recently downloaded and great work, however im noticing a slight issue with copying "Shop Fronts". Some times they will copy, other times they won't.

In the build im doing right now, I had 1 copy area to paste twice more. This area had a shop with 3 shop fronts. On one paste section, 2/3 were copied over, on the second paste, only 1/3 was.

I've just done another selection to paste only once. This has only 1 shop front and this was not copied at all.

Could possibly be related to the fact that the particular object must be placed on a wall. Perhaps they try to build but can't because the wall isn't there so ignore it? Or maybe they build it before the wall, then they build the wall and remove it again? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah, and it doesn't copy Laundry Baskets but i can understand that because of how the work.
