Hey crotalus, love your mods! But is it possible for this to work with template rotation? like maybe only use CTRL key for template change or customizable hotkey?

Make sure you have the mex as icon for the template, that''s' the way it finds what template to use.

Can someone explain how I'm supposed to make it work?

Here's what I have tried:

I made a t1 mex, I surrounded it with mass storage, I recorded these 5 structures as a template.

Now I select a builder, I choose t1mex, I tried placing it and then middle clicking or shift middle clicking etc etc, I can't make it work. Is there a YouTube video or something of this in action so I can see how it's supposed to work?

Either it's broken in my context of mods etc or I'm missing something.

The idea is pretty good, but I cant get it to work properly... or more like at all. Are you intending on fixing the issues?

Edit: It does work, I am just stupid.^^

I've tested this mod, its very nice for mexes; though you have to make a template for each level of the mex. Also, I couldn't make it work when mex was upgrading, either from t1-> t2 or t2->t3

I've experimented with factories surrounded by pgens as well. For some templates, the middle clicking on a factory would surround it with pgens as planned without the factory itself being queued up. In particular, templates with air factories did not give out the factory itself, whereas land factories would add the factory to the queue.

Also, sometimes middle clicking a building would give the proper template but at little off the center positions, for mexes the storages would go off for half-a-building-length, for factories the off-center template would be more significant.

QuickTemplate
Mod that helps with building templates. Activates by middle mouse button (or Ctrl-key)

Example:
You create a t1 pd template with 9 walls surrounding it and set the PD as the icon of the template.

When you have a T1 PD selected for building you just press middle mouse button and it will automatically transform into the PD-template. You could also middle click an existing pd and it will change into the template. If you have several templates with the same icon you cycle through them by repeatedly pressing middle mouse button.

Another good use is to have mass storages template with a t2 mex in the center/icon, then you can middle click a t2 mex to get the mass storage template. Or maybe a radar template with 4 pgens around it. When you feel like having pgens around your radar, just middle click it.
