Description: Players should be able to choose which Cockpit or Flight Seat controls thrusters, motors, and wheels — even if those blocks are on a different grid.

Current limitation: Control is limited to the same grid. Setting up multi-grid vehicles, docked ships, or modular designs usually requires complex workarounds.

Requested change: Add an option on thrusters, motors, and wheels to select a specific Cockpit or Flight Seat as the controller, and allow this selection to work across separate grids.


Why this is useful: This would make multi-grid setups (modular ships, trailers, docked drones, custom vehicles, etc.) much simpler and more reliable. No need for complicated scripts or multiple remote systems just to get basic control working.

'Control From Here', would align all the orientation of thrusters/gyros/control surfaces/wheels/mech blocks to the orientation of the control block selected, along with all their sub-grids.


KSP had this, extremely useful.


Would also make cranes simple, or any other mechanized amalgamation of mech blocks, to control. Just put a camera/control block on the end of it, then you can 'drive' it around through the air, using movement controls from your keyboard.
