Compatibility

• Tested on OpenRCT2 v0.4.3+ (Plugin API v34+)
• Works with rides, stalls, and flat rides
• Single-tile placement only (does not clone multi-tile track layouts)

Known Limitations

• Placed copies use default colours rather than copying from the original
• Does not open the construction window (not exposed by the plugin API)
• Multi-tile rides (e.g. coasters) will only place the individual track piece you clicked on
