A new prefab mechanism has been introduced in build 21w26a in experimental.
It improves the current copy/paste tool and add the possibility to export the clipboard and share it on the workshop.
Then each "prefab" can be re-used later on, and be built as if it where a brick!
Demo of the improved copy paste, the copied bricks having two rotors.
WARNING => with this feature it becomes extremely easy to put a lot of detail into a build.
The engine cant deal with an infinite amount of bricks.
Use it with caution, you are responsible for the negative performance of your designs!
Simply use prefabs as if it where a brick!
