I have an idea for a radial menu for Configurator. It would be easier and faster to choose a certain mode.
Something similar to radial menus from Psi and Chisels & Bits

Here's a design that I came up with to help visualize the idea: http://imgur.com/a/rdzGK

100% Support this. Changing modes on the configurator currently is a pain.

Ps: Nice artwork

This is a great idea; I often want to swap between wrench and configurate fluid conduit input/output modes.

Added a feature that allows for configurator mode change by sneaking+scrolling, along with a handy visual indicator. Hopefully this helps!
