[1.12.5] Stapler - Re-parent parts without moving them

[Halban]

  

 

Stapler adds a construction mode to the editor that lets you re-parent parts without changing their position.

You use re-parent mode just like you would use the re-root function in stock; it even has its icon in the same place. The keybind to enter re-parenting quickly is 5 (6 if you have TweakScale Rescaled installed, which also adds a construction mode). In the demo I'm combining a fragmented wing which allows me to move it around as one.

This is a minimal remake of @Spartwo's Stapler mod, with none of the other planned features. They may be merged at some point in the future.

Please report any issues here.

This is a game changer for people who design plane wings using non-procedural parts without thinking about their parenting skills. Niche perhaps, but game changer. I love this and Part Tips - QoL you didn't realize you actually needed.

This is the kind of thing that should be in the stock game, thanks !
