Suggested feature: custom modules

[alsimoneau]

It's me again with another suggestion.

It would probably be pretty hard to implement, but i was thinking it might be nice to be able to take a graph and compress it down to a single object, using the IO summary as the IO of the module.

It would help readability a lot when designing complex factories.

For instance, I did this mall build, where the science, maintenance, construction parts, vehicle parts and microchip production could be reduced to single modules.

This feature is quite complex in both implementation cost and usability. I guess just wrapping is not enough, there must exists possibility to look what is inside, unwrap and edit.

Actually, I have multi-select and copy-paste on todo list, maybe I will try to use your idea to implement mass factory management, but this may be implemented in far future, because of complexity.

I was thinking having a place where you paste a copy code from another window and it creates a process node for it. Yes being able to dynamically go in and change things would be great, but as a first step this would be enough to make a very modular system.
