Moving an existing production setup to a different floor is currently a tedious, multi-step process. To relocate machines, players must:
- Select the buildings.
- Cut (or deconstruct) them.
- Navigate to the target floor.
- Paste (or rebuild) them.
- Manually reconnect all conveyor belts.
Proposed Solution (Quality-of-Life Improvement)
Introduce a hotkey shortcut that allows players to instantly shift selected structures vertically between floors, automatically adapting their logistics connections.
Proposed User Flow:
- Select the desired buildings.
- Hold a modifier key (e.g.,
Ctrl or Shift). - Press the change-floor keys (default
Q/E, or custom hotkeys) to nudge the selection up or down.
Expected Behavior:
- The selected buildings are instantly relocated to the chosen floor.
- Auto-reconnection: Conveyor belt connections are automatically adjusted to bridge the gap. For example, if a machine is moved from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor, vertical belts (or lifts) are automatically generated to maintain the connection between the two floors.
