Tested on C:S version 1.17.0-f3

Current version:3.0.4

• Moved mod core to Harmony for better compatibility with other mods
• Completely rewritten mod's core logic/engine
• Fully redesigned and faster UI
• Improved logic used to enable/disable the mod for a more consistent behavior
• Added button to sort networks based on their horizontal distance
• Added button to enable/disable automatic horizontal offset adjusting when changing the main selected network (parallel networks will be shifted to match new network's width)
• Added button to enable/disable automatic angle compensation: building straight networks with sharp angles can now cause nodes to be moved to produce more pleasing results
• Added scrollwheel support to horizontal/vertical offsets texts
• Pressing ALT will now switch building side (use this if upgrading curves produces unexpected results)
• Fixed a bug preventing trees to be applied to parallel/stacked segments

Description

Saves the current configuration as a preset that can be loaded at a different time.

Loads a saved preset into your current configuration.

Sorts the selected networks by using the horizontal offset in a descending order.

Toggles the angle compensation feature on/off. This feature prevents segments from overlapping when creating straight roads connected using sharp angles.This works by moving the previous node in order to have a better angle for your parallel segments.

Toggles the auto width adjustment feature on/off. This feature automatically adjusts the horizontal offset from the main selected network everytime this changes.The final result is to preserve the relative distance between the original sem*nts and the parallel ones, avoiding overlapping when selecting a larger main network.

Toggles the snapping feature on/off. This feature allows parallel segments to snap to existing nodes that were not created by this mod.
