Suggestion for Building Multiple buildings

ZelgadisNailo · June 06, 2011, 01:29:45 PM

Hello I have a suggestion for when trying to build multiple buildings/weapons. Instead of having to click each time, being able to click and drag along the screen much like choosing a line of land to be destroyed. When there is a spot available to build as your dragging the mouse along, a building would be setup there.

This would be useful when trying to build lines of reactors or building a multitude of weapons.

If more clarification is needed please let me know :D

Welcome to the forums. I agree that such a feature would probably come in handy.

I remember a couple of moments when I dragged my mouse trying to build a line of reactors only for nothing to happen :( . This feature would be nice.

i know it would be nice... but i don't think it would work. also it would encourage overbuilding (not a bad thing, but some people like to be good too) which might not be too good.

Encourage overbuilding? Well, That's wonderful, How much easier to the people who use it responsibly to get a high score, while the rest of the ~~Idiots~~ Players Do not.

You have to build strings of reactors and blasters anyway. Anything beyond 3 energy you're generally gonna be building at least two reactors at once.
