-Copy paste tiles and actors.
-Rotate tiles and actors.
-Fill in selected area with tiles and actors.
-Add to the selection area.
-Visualise tiles in the map.

I Will continue working on it until I am satisfied, then I will push to my forked branch and then yall can decide if you want it in the real OpenRA or not, disclaimer : This is 100% vibecoded (GPT 5.5 and Composer 2.5 in Cursor). :lol:

In the real OpenRa you would have had to click every single cell to put water in it, it would have taken days.

I just use the Fill function that I made, a few seconds work.

Pics here of almost the whole map ocean, replace with a 1x1 rock tile in seconds.

I can even replace specific things with specific other things.

In these images I replace resources with actors.

Ps we cant upload pics to this forum?

That would be easier than putting twitter links to show pics.
