1) **Add a button in the UI or a shortcut to mirror your current placement. ** Reasoning: It's often the case that you position in a corner to avoid enemy rogues. However it's common next wave to have rogues on the opposite side. This forces you to move each illuvial to the opposite site symmetrically. **(Bonus) Maybe allow shift + click over an illuvial to mirror it's position on the board.** This can save a lot of time if you want to move like 3-4 illuvials and keeping the same distance between them. This helps with some augments and Aegis illuvials. 2) **Allow snapping to board edges and other illuvials when holding shift**(or something similar) Reasoning: While moving illuvials around quite often you want to put them next to each other or at the very edge of the board. Having a mechanism that toggles on button hold will allow you easily and quickly to achieve this. 3) **Allow saving of board states.** - Allow players to save the current positioning of the illuvials by pressing control + number(or something similar). Allow players to go between saved positions by pressing the corresponding number(I know this conflicts with cameras at this point) Reasoning: Similar to point 1. The difficulty of survival mode should not happen because you have to move illuvials around for 20-30 seconds. So enabling more easy transitions between board states will keep the focus on the gameplay, not the UI. **Extra utility: Have these be saved across multiple runs.** This will be something that we'll appreciate in the distant future. If you have a deck, that doesn't change every day. You'll most likely end with let's say 5-10 generic placements, it will make the game very repetitive to just position each illuvial the same way every new game. And having such system will make play sessions more about strategy. 4) **(Bonus) Allow players to save different camera positions. **

These are mostly UI/UX/QOL items. They may not make the game, but many will appreciate them. Feel free to add your thoughts about these.
