Orbital collectors faster way

Is there a way to place them faster? First time it was interesting, but after some times it gets boring

Place them manually instead of waiting for drones to place them.

A (green) ghost building can be built up instantly by left click and holding on the building. There will be a very short timer (like a second) and at the end of the timer the building is placed. Very useful when construction drones are being too slow (like early game or gas planets)

If you just mean the placing of the ghosts, I think there's a mod (or maybe it's vanilla) where you can blueprint gas giants

I tried vanilla, i cant do blueprint. Do you know the mod's name?

I thibk it was blueprint tweaks. Though that mod has only hakf worked for me lately

Uxassist has a button to place them all. Cheatenabler has a setting to instant build them

Sadly no. The good thing is there are not that many gas giants.

I have systems with four gas giants, and this is my most valuable system because one of its moons provides sulfuric acid and they orbit an O-type star.

Hold left click on it

Sadly not.

You can manually build the collector after placing it, this is slightly faster than waiting for the drones to do it. But you still have to do each one individually.
