Currently im working on following Quality of life improvements:
changes to the item pickup system – once picked up, items will retain their position and rotation. Dropping items will be done with a single press of the [RMB] button, and holding the [RMB] button will allow rotation and distance changes as currently. Pressing the [X] button will reset the position and rotation to default values. This option will be available in the game options. If the system proves successful and causes no errors, it will be implemented as a standard system.
auto welding option - once you've reached the maximum "Welder" skill level, you'll be able to automatically weld elements. The electrodes in the welding machine will be still required.
ignoring collisions when building - after reaching the maximum level of the "Construction" skill (a new skill in the game), it will be possible to disable collision checking when matching an element (connection will still be required)
auto nailing option - after reaching the maximum level of the "Carpenter" skill (a new skill in the game), it will be possible to enable automatic nailing of elements
the ability to edit the element connected to a given lever after using the Multitool
simplified steel plate cutting mode – after using the cutting mat, you will only be able to target the SAM vehicle element. No connection or collision checks will be performed on the cut plate. The game will assume that the cut plate is connected to the originally initially selected element. After accepting the selected shape, the plate will be immediately ready for welding (position and rotation adjustment step will be removed from game). The welding area will be increased to cover the entire plate surface, eliminating the need to aim at a single point.
adding a screen to the game menu with a preview of the current skills levels and unlocked perks
If you have any other suggestions or ideas regading QoL, this is a good time and place to write them in the comments.
