Some Suggestions for Optimization

[FennexFox]

1. Enable "grouping" of buildings and disable or "halt" node-connecting algorithm for buildings inside of the group.

• Input and Output nodes of the group, which are not internally managed, would be located on the edge of the group - so make it less complex to connect nodes.
• Would be better if you can name or write some memo on the group.
• Would be better if you can move and relocate the "group" as a whole.
• Would be best if you can copy-paste the group.

2. Enable "multiplier" settings of each node.

• x4 water pump would be processed as single node.
• Successive nodes of the multiplied one would inherit the multiplier until set otherwise.

3. Enable "direct add-on" of nodes, like that of ingame feature.

• this would make the node-connecting algorithm less demanding and prevent auto-sorting to separate closely related nodes away.

4. Enable "visibility" so node-connecting algorithm functionality toggle of each connection line.

• It would make some connecting lines of "basic maintenance" or "byproducts-that-would-feedback" resources, such as water and steams, much simpler.

5. Enable "Auto-Sort" toggleable.

• It would be less frustrating and performance-friendly if you don't sort all the nodes when you add or remove a single smokestack.
