drill toggle on/off grouping not working

so when you drag the multiple selected blocks over to the tool bar (can be grouped or selected individually) only one gets assigned the toggle role the others remain unchanged when pressed. this is referring to the ship drills personally but likely applies to other blocks as well just havent tested all blocks yet. (also a side note there is no feedback sound to let the player know that the toggle was activated when pressed)


another side note for a feature we need. I would like a toggle to have the drill be actively drilling without my constant input

-currently the toggle power on/off and the set tool mode drill/mine doesn't actually put it into action just changes its setting in the control panel. we need a setting to (activate the drill) option or tie this concept into one of the existing inputs personally toggling power to the drill, having the drill (turn on) would be my go to choice.

It does work, set the drill hotbar button to "Drill"


Press the button and the drill starts to drill without your further input.

Haven't found how to turn the drilling off tho.


Grouping is indeed a need but they are working on it

so after just jumping in to test I found a few things;

1) you are correct in that it does keep the drill active so thank you for that much appreciated, and I found out how to turn them off by control key as well -you need to set tool mode to none then save this will allow you to turn it off.

2) so the control drill key bind does not maintain drills on separate grids i.e. (if they are on pistons or rotors) after loading a save it will still effect drills on the main grid just fine but those on separate grids will need to be re added via re making the control on the hotbar (kinda tedious but this will likely get fixed pretty easily)

3) I am able to get all the selected drills from multiple groups/sections i.e different grids via pistons or rotors, working but this only seems to be with the control function specifically the other functions have this weird bug where it will only activate the individual drill icon i had to select and drag to the bar. thought at first it was linked to whether im holding down ctrl vs shift or if I used right click or left drag but none of these seem to change the outcome.

Yeah, I got stuck in a crash-loop since I had all my atmo thrusters grouped on the hotbar, frantically trying to turn them on.
