Copy and paste entity settings (lemmy.world)

I just found out you can copy entity settings with SHIFT + right click and paste it with SHIFT + left click.

What does that mean? A lot of things, actually. But for me it means that I can set the recipe in a building, copy the settings and paste it on requester chests or inserters. Directly pasting the recipe requirements into wherever you need it.

I did this shit manually. Every single motherfucking time. I am angry and I can’t blame anyone but me.

Kind regards

PS: Anyone else hyped about tomorrow?

One of my favorite shortcuts!

Anyone know what time tomorrow it's going out?

Btw I'm betting on first patch coming 3 hour after release.

keep an eye on the steam page, it currently says 15 hours from the time of this comment.

I can't even imagine the tunnels your fingers have carpaled.

I'm glad you learned it though - I hope to hell you know about drag copy and pasting?

That I am aware of…since a couple of weeks ago. But come to think of it, I am just now remembering how I configured every single cargo rocket in Space Exploration manually.

Maybe I should pay more attention when watching doshdoshingtons videos.

Them releasing on a Monday is pure evil

They know the productivity of the entire world's engineering departments is going to drop to zilch for the next three weeks

At least this way we know we have to take vacation, so its all on the books and no surprises.

If they released on Friday, we wouldn't have booked time off, and come Monday morning, there would be a wave of "sick" principle engineers blind siding all critical systems.

Not taking vacation, but I’m definitely gonna have a bad case of sour throat later this day.
