E-Z Tether Placement

[Wigbert FriggleShit]

Having recently come off Factorio, one of the QoL features I like in that game is that if you hold down the mouse button while putting down power poles, they will automatically and evenly be spaced so you efficiently cover distances and not waste power poles.

In Astroneer, this feature translates to my question about tethers; is there a way to automatically place down a tether when you are just about to break the distance with the nearest/last placed tether? I've been in and out of this game for the last three years or so, so I'm just wondering if they added that feature in the meantime.

Also, just when your tether line snaps + another step or so, is the maximum distance for tethers to connect, so if you place a new tether each time you disconnect from the current one, you'll have a connected tether line with a small safety buffer.

This. It becomes muscle memory after a while

well anything is possible, who knows? maybe in a next update they will create a module you can put on a tractor trailer that will place tethers optimally as long as you keep a steady path. or with all the sensors and such maybe a way to program your own placement speed.

me? i just stay optimal and i dont use tethers. Oxy filters and free air from vehicles for life!
