Hold <Keybind> to Set Placed Building's Config to 0
Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.
Placing new buildings while config
to 0. For example, when you place a sorter/inverted sorter or an Erekir duct/surge router, their configuration will automatically be set the same as the last sorter you've placed. In Erekir, this can be problematic, as since the router and sorter have been merged together into one building, I have found that it can cause some complications during builds - especially those without schematics.
Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.

In this example, I place a router-sorter set to graphite for the Silicon Arc Furnace, but when I try to place a router for the Ship Fabricator, but since the first router I placed is set to graphite, the second router is automatically set to graphite, which stalls the entire conveyor. While I could definitely use an underflow for this example, I will have to check the configuration on the next router I place regardless.
With this suggestion, the user could simply hold down the keybind when placing this router, which would negate this issue; they would specify to the game that the second router should be set to have no configuration/a configuration of 0/set to nothing.
The Serpulo router equivalent cannot be configured, and therefore doesn't have this problem, so I never considered this before Erekir came out.
Before making this issue, check the boxes below to confirm that you have acknowledged them.
- [X] I have checked the Trello to make sure my suggestion isn't planned or implemented in a development version.
- [X] I am familiar with all the content already in the game or have glanced at the wiki to make sure my suggestion doesn't exist in the game yet.
- [X] I have read README.md to make sure my idea is not listed under the "A few things you shouldn't suggest" category.
