Clipboard that can carry over between drones


RamenDevourer

Post

So when you edit a drone, there are times you wish you could borrow stuff from drones you already made.

With a save as parts group  button while having a bunch of parts  selected (the one selected and all the ones hooked up to it), It would then be possible to reuse parts arrangements in multiple drones instead of without rebuilding from duplicates (or even from scratch).

Basically it would be like a big inter-drone clipboard.

Let's add an option to make some sort of templates from a bunch of parts.

Those templates can be organised in a list like weapons and are always accessable in the editor (button to toggle on/off) independent of the drone that is edited right now.

Probably the list should have some decent sorting functions to find the right thing. Like search for thrusters, weapons and stuff.

The possibility to copy a selection and then paste it in another drone is incredibly useful. Upvoted :)

I don't think it will be viable in the near future, but just as a discussion: :)

I think it might be funny/useful to have a huge "scrapyard" where you can place different drones into one file/space, and you can copy and paste freely and build stuff/experiment. The drone you have selected last is the one which will be used in the simulation scene. And if you are happy with one construction, you can then either export/save it to a new file or simply copy it and then paste it in a new file. Just thinking out aloud, no plans :)

It would be useful to have a clipboard to put copies of multiple parts that you can use for later projects. That way you can quickly access different structures and systems you’ve created in the past and drag them straight into your new build saving a bunch of time.

I know there Is a thread on this but search isn't finding  it. But let me just get to why

The function to copy and paste drones will allow for users to make custom race stages using the planets instead of the sumo ring and many other custom games. 

As a sub suggestion make your next challenge be a mini game challenge where players make some games like race through the center of the earth and such

Or just to craft drones with several quirks within a few minutes rather than place everything by hand, every time. Make simple drones exhibiting interesting behaviours (following cursor, Gauss cannon etc.), and when you need anything that you already have, copy, paste, done.

You should add new topics for new suggestions.  This is a tracker, as well as a forum, so the topics here are used to track user interest and completion status, as well as discuss ideas.  For that reason, it's only useful to the developers if each thread is only one subject, so it's clear what the votes on the features, and the completion status actually refer to.

 

EDIT: This is also why we're a bit more aggressive than normal about merging things in the feature request, bug report, and drone part request forums.
