Add Mirror/Flip command for (partial) blueprints
Not Enough Votes
In SE2 the building system is supposed to be user-friendly and comfortable, but I immediately run into the issue of not being able to mirror/flip partial copies, which I thought is surely a basic feature.
Even Factorio supports mirroring/flipping blueprints.
Imagine for example that you forgot to turn on mirror mode, or simply prefer to build components of a ship as a separate grid, and then you wish to place that (partial) blueprint on both the left and the right sides. You will end up having to do a lot of manual work that feels like an unnecessary torture.
Suggestion: Have mirror/flip commands available when placing (partial) blueprints. Additionally, having mirror/flip options on the Blueprints UI would be really cool too.

I like this feedback 
I had the exact same quarm with the game where I built half a ship and didn’t put on mirror mode since the middle was going to be between two blocks and I was planning to flip it at the end. Turns out that I can’t and now I’m stuck with half a ship.

This will only work if absolutely all blocks in the game have a symmetrical variant. Or we need to look for some other compromises (like some blocks cant mirror/flip).
