The Copy-Paste Mod

Description
Enough with that wimpy "Clone" tool! Copy and paste unlimited area with the Copy-Paste Mod!

Instructions:
1. Place the "Copy (upper left)" object in the upper-left corner of the area to copy from
2. Place the "Copy (lower right)" object in the lower-right corner of the area to copy from
3. Place the "Paste (upper right)" object in the upper-right corner of the area(s) you want to copy to
- Note: You can place multiple Paste objects to paste to multiple locations at once!
4. Build foundations: Due to a bug in the game, you will need to place foundations (NOT materials like floors and walls) ahead of time wherever you want an indoor area.
5. Click on the "Copy (upper left)" object you placed and click the "Copy and paste!" button.
6. Wait! It may take a moment for the mod to kick in (your game must be unpaused). Your game will then appear to freeze- please ignore any OS messages about the game not responding. Depending on the size of your prison, the size of the area being copied, and how fast your computer is, this may take some time.
7. Your workers will now begin building the materials and objects from the copied area in the paste area(s).
8. Zone rooms, build utilities, deploy guards, etc. You're done!

Notes
- You are charged money for the things you build (but nothing beyond the usual price)
- Everything will be built instantly if you have cheats enabled
- If you choose to copy your entire prison, keep in mind that it will take some time!
- Make backups!
- The game is very inconsistent with how it handles object storage, so this mod needs to make corrections for individual object positions. If you find an object being copied incorrectly, let me know!
- Items from other mods are NOT currently copied (I can't be bothered to sift through the whole workshop, and finding objects with their properties is broken right now). Feel free to request, but I can't gurantee anything.


Roadworks 2 has become HL3, hasn't it? Bugs, bugs bugs...

I wish there was an option to flip horizontal or vertical

A few copy-paste bugs, not sure if the mod-author is even still around but may as well write them down:

Items get mixed up (Internal round lights are replaced with the external "Road" stick lights, which means auto-lighting can be an issue)

You cannot undo certain build blueprints once they are created.

Resource provision is broken, either not having enough, having too much, or having an entirely DIFFERENT resource.

it's a fantastic mod, but if only it could copy the utilities and foundations, then it would be perfect.

This mod is great. I use it to copy 40 bed dorms. Love it!

guess it's not more needed or? since it's in basegame?

Used this today and it worked awesome! The only downside I noticed to the process (and it took me a minute to figure out) was that when I constructed the new foundations before copying+pasting, auto-lights did me in and a lot of them were doubled up in weird areas (the copied ones and the auto-lights from the foundation). This caused my electrical to be way too high. I didn't realize that lights actually used electricity at first, but just a suggestion if you're copying and pasting is that you turn off auto-lights on your base foundation construction so you don't run into this issue.

Works like a charm!

Shame theres no way (currently) to copy/paste Utilities too. But other wise, Cracking job. The measly 12x12 clone tool would not have been fun to use when I intend on copying a 200x111 ish building...... Twice!

Also, @Sambot, In the description it says ""3. Place the "Paste (upper right)" object in the upper-right corner"" When it should say "Upper left". Could possibly be confusing the people who cant get it to work. That or they never read the description.
