      Do you plan to add copy and paste functionality slash blueprints or any other way to quickly duplicate existing factories?

      okay so we've answered this question a bajillion times but again this is an ongoing discussion uh people still ask so i'm gonna answer it again the answer was always a no and i thought well because it's ongoing i'll check in with mark and i checked in with mark mark's thoughts have actually shifted a little bit he's kind of starting to think that it's more of a it is kind of more of a good idea now this is just mark's opinions mark even though he's the director doesn't mean he makes every single decision right we're a team of people and we everyone has different opinions and and uh

      So everyone's opinions weigh in here, right?

      But Mark's opinions, if we were to do it, we don't think that Factorio's Blueprint system is what we would want, or we don't think just a simple copy-paste is what we would want, but some kind of functionality to facilitate the repetition that people experience could be cool.

      So that's the update for you.

      That's Mark's current opinion on it, which is different than before, so there's movement there.

      But I can't really tell you anything more than that because that's literally it.

      Yeah.
