Summary0009698: Editor multi-tile movement tool
DescriptionIf possible, it would be an incredible time-saver to have a selection tool in the editor that lets you "lasso" multiple tiles at once and move them to a different location.

This tool could be specific to one type of object, such as FG or BG, but I would specifically like to be able to move everything selected at once, regardless of type. It could possibly warn you if you're about to overwrite anything in the destination range.

I've wished for this one for a while. My latest reason is the new ceiling object, which will require whole sections of buildings to slide north or south to make way for their placement. Currently, all objects must be moved separately, which can be very tedious.

I'm sure this request would appear again from the fan base if not implemented beforehand. :) Here's hopin'!

Well, creating new areas from scratch usually involves moving entire selections at once. As we create Ganan Fields and Alden Ridge, there will undoubtedly be times where buildings have to be slid over to make wider or more narrow paths. It takes time to move pieces one after the next. I guess for now, we must do our best to plan in advance before committing to a layout.
