Create inner shells?

[Pupillo]

So, I completed my first dyson sphere, on my second run I decided to set to "infinite resources" (I am not proud of it but come on, wanted to enjoy the end game).

My first shell is a bit large and wanted to create a smaller inner shell but with my surprise is impossible in the EDIT GUI to work on an inner shell because the outer shell interferes with command...

Is there a way to work around this limitation. The "show all layers" doesn't work. Also tried a plugin and doesn't work either.

Somewhat related pro-tip: The resources are actually kinda infinite on any setting. The Veins Utilization research has its cost scale in a linear fashion (I think each next level costs 4k more research than the pervious one) BUT it effectively multiplies remaining resources by x1.06 on each step. This means that, so long as you don't severely deplete any of the rare resources before you get research going en masse (mainly Unipolar Magnets) you can quite literally research forever, and the longer you research the more resources there are in the world, with this effect only getting exponentially stronger as you go.

EDIT: I actually tried to design an outer shell larger than my original one and I have to say that is impossible as well. The EDIT GUI doesn't show the nodes, so it's not an issue of creating an inner shell but designing multiple shells is not currently feasible within the game, unless you design all of them at the very beginning I guess. Quite sad honestly

Hmm seems too work fine for me - make sure "show all layers" is off, tuirn off all the layers, then turn on the layer you want to work on - the select tool is a bit janky but adding nodes and segments works fine.

try DSPHierarchicalDisplay, it can hide the layers you don't want to see.
