Clone tool?

I've been doing city planning and lay-outing and I find it particularly frustrating when I don't get the proper road measurements correct. I'm trying to do 8 by 8 cubes but often i get it incorrect.

Maybe I've been playing to much prison architect lol but a clone tool would be nice.

How exactly does the clone tool work there?

You may create a plugin that provides some sort of empty template buildings that help you to plan your city layout. I remember that CommanderABab created a plugin like that.

Maybe you could slect what you want to copy in the same way you choose what is destroyed with the delete tool.

Has some of the templates. I think they are 7x7 so 4 could be in a square. I'm on my phone. Keyboard doesn't work in forum sometimes. The res T one or the park ones are good for laying things out. The res one is also good for getting riots when roads are added adjacent. :)

Basically in prison architect, when you use the clone tool you can box in objects in a 12 by 12 area and you will have the option to place that template everywhere.

I'll fix that.

That was before flags were introduced.

Is the json file all one line? :)

Download it again from the telegraph page.

I deactivated the military road.

Add this code if you wish to activate it again:

Code: Select all

"flag normal":false,
"flag military":true,
"x flags": "{ flag normal":true,"flag military":true}
