[0.12.26][Oxyd] Cannot place certain blueprints

[jarcionek]

Blueprint containing express transport belts and splitters cannot be placed in adjacency to some objects or when overlapping existing certain objects. Example below.

Copy onto a blueprint a construction (splitter and 7 belts) on the right side:

Then try to place it here, next to the express underground belt:

Or here, so that the express splitter overlaps:

Expected: after left click, "ghost" buildings are placed and construction robots start constructing
Actual: nothing happens

I cannot reproduce this bug with yellow transport belts.
I think I have seen it happen with red transport belts.
I have seen it happen also in adjacency to underground pipe (both empty and filled) but I couldn't always reproduce it.

The first time I saw the bug was in 0.12.24. When playing in January (in version 0.12.20) the bug wasn't there.

The problem is not affected by modular armour and portable roboports. Neither it matters whether adjacent buildings are actually built or are "ghosts":

I can't reproduce this. Please provide the save where you can reproduce this and also your mod folder.

Save file attached. I apologize for the size but I don't have any smaller map. This game was started in January in version 0.12.20, there was no bug at that time. Now in 0.12.26 there is.

I have also seen it in game that I started in version 0.12.24, I continued playing that game in 0.12.26 - the bug was still there.

I play with no mods. My mods folder contains a single file mod-list.json with the following content:

Code: Select all

{
    "mods": [
        {
            "name": "base",
            "enabled": "true"
        }
    ]
}

Thanks, fixed for 0.12.27.

The problem is actually caused by rotating the blueprint. If you create a blueprint of the belt balancer going left-to-right, then you can place it just fine. But, if you take a blueprint of the balancer going south-to-north, then rotate it to go west-to-east, it won't place.

Nice find! I haven't thought about rotating the blueprint. That's why it seemed somehow random to me. I am glad that it will be fixed in the next version. Thanks
