Feature request - Piplines adding items so they align

[nthbooth-feedr]

I always have a challenge aligning components onto a pipeline. They always end up slightly off and when I scale the map up and down their alignment also changes even when it was perfect to start with.

Using the is map as an example: https://github.com/swardley/Research2022/blob/main/construction/construction-alternative-construction https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR6fvOcXoAEZslT?format=jpg&name=large

And focusing on the following part:

component construction technologies [0.39, 0.52] label [28, -32]
pipeline construction technologies [0.35, 0.7]
component robotic [0.37, 0.45] label [-9, 25]
component 3D printing [0.37, 0.41] label [-60, 24]

I have a suggestion a new component type called pipelinecomponent this would lead to:

component construction technologies [0.39, 0.52] label [28, -32]
pipeline construction technologies [0.35, 0.7]
pipelinecomponent construction technologies, robotic [0.45] label [-9, 25]
pipelinecomponent construction technologies, 3D printing [0.41] label [-60, 24]

pipelinecomponent would just take the location on the pipeline rather than taking both the x and y locations much the same way as the pipeline takes it visibility location from the initial component.

Apart from that these would act like any other component. (eg. you would be able to evolve a pipelinecomponent etc etc)

Update the syntax from the first submission I realised it needed the pipeline name in the pipelinecomponent type pipelinecomponent [} [label......]

bug.. The ability to create a square box without the surrounding box seems to have gone. (just a pipeline without options)
