I know I'm kind of late, but I just NEED to thank Uber for this.

See that?
ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!
For those of you who don't know what I'm referring to, if you click and drag something you want built, instead of it showing the green circles it will actually show the ghost building.

It's something I've wanted to see in this game since I got it, because it just makes naval so much better when you can actually SEE your build line.
Uber, you da bes.

On behalf of all of us, you're welcome! FYI, same applies to orbital.

I also like this
Although it seemed to coincide with a bug that allowed building meshes to appear where buildings really can't be placed, which all too often results in a messed up build order where my commander decides not to build an energy plant, my storage buildings, or sometimes even my first factory

Yeah, I've noticed that too.
I've been getting into the habit of spacing out buildings more than I usually like to, less efficient but less buggy so it works out. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

That's gr8 m8 I r8 8 out of 8, no h8 on my pl8.

you should get to bed, tehtrekd. its quite l8

At the start when it's just the commander and the mesh is too close to a building but still thinks it can build there, move even closer to the building. It should get to a point where it snaps further away from the building, where it can actually build.

It's not yet perfect. There is still no way to show all tasks for all builders. E.g if you press Shift with no builders selected it's still only display first task in queue of each builder and not 100% of every builder queue.

But I also like this change a lot because I hate those green dots.

Indeed. The green dots were awful.
