Closest Material

Do you plan to build stairs that go from your base to the top of the map, passing through several different biomes and materials, but you want them to build the stairs using the materials that are available near the building, regardless of which one it is, just using the closest one? Or do you just want them to build anything, without caring about the material used? This MOD is for you.

When building the blueprint with the option active or using the MOD tool after having already set it to build (blueprint), it will change the materials to the closest ones, obeying the original construction category. If it does not find the material for that category, it leaves the original material of the blueprint.

GAME LIMITATIONS

NOTE 1: The DUPLICANT will not always get the first material that is next to the building, the game calculates the PATHFIND and he gets it from wherever is faster, so the MOD helps in the sense that he does not need to get a material far away to continue constructions. For example, if you ask it to build 10 stairs, it will take the material closest to it and the stairs and if there is a lack of material, it will use the one closest to the stairs, since the stairs were built using the closest materials.

NOTE 2: When creating pipes and the like, the DUPs already start digging, other buildings do not. This allows you to more or less use the MOD material as a planner. Unfortunately, this happens in the core logic of the game, there is no way to remove it.

NOTE 3: Sometimes while building pipes and blocks, they seem to get disconnected, especially when you click on just one that is connected to other blueprints, but it is only visual, as soon as you build all of them they connect... When you are replacing this does not happen. I am looking for a way to fix it, but it is only visual.

NOTE 4: Due to the unavailability of a specific method/logic for this in the game code, I cannot fully validate the amount of available material. Sometimes it may assign 400kg of Copper (since it is the closest element) to build 10 blocks (2000kg would be used), and the rest remains as "Unavailable Material" until more material is excavated/manufactured.

Update 1.1:
Fixed some items not being built:
Fiber and Wood are not exactly "Building Materials" in the game, so I made a specific condition for them.

Update 1.2:
Now the MOD allows you to build inside rockets or use the material that is inside the rockets.

A) Builds in the world using materials inside landed rockets
B) Builds on a landed rocket, using materials from the world it is in or from inside other rockets that are landed in the same world
C) If the rocket is taking off, flying or landing, it will only use materials inside the passenger module itself

Update 1.3:
Fixed the category of secondary materials, due to the game update and generating an error when deconstructing things built using the MOD functionality. Unfortunately, constructions already made can still generate an error when deconstructing, because the game changes the categories, but allows building using the old data.

Update 2.0:
Refactoring of the MOD to simplify functionality and use

=> Any errors/suggestions/criticisms/compliments can be reported to me.
