Sounds like a feature request, but also, +1, this is kind of the point of having turret ghosts

That doesn't change much except I looked at the wrong logic (copy-paste onto itself already does nothing). Building a blueprint over top of an entity will always do the paste logic because the two are never the same entity - one is in a blueprint - and one is in the world - even if the blueprint ...

What's the desired outcome with pasting an entity onto itself? Theoretically - do nothing? "it already has the exact settings of the source entity"?

There are two typical use cases here:
- pasting a platform over an empty hub: the goal building the platform. So building ghosts should be ...

Possible similar bug viewtopic.php?p=670025#p670025

Seems similar to viewtopic.php?f=7&t=126117

If it helps, I'm sometimes running the game with my player in it, and sometimes in a server with no players (because the GUI freezes when I switch users on macOS).

Possibly?

I think the first save is the original one in the bug report, and the second is from 3 days before:

Thanks, and good to know!

I suspected it wasn't related to the action, I've done a lot of railgun moving (and other changes on planet) since activating the Metal backend.

They aren't moving when I am viewing them remotely.

Possibly, but this is all happening in remote view. I have never had an actual player near that area, they left the planet when my base was much much smaller.

And they should start moving again once revealed.

What did you do?

I was building a railgun on a platform.

What happened?

Cargo pods are highlighted with red railgun kill zone boxes, both when they're visible, and when they're invisible. Some pods seem to be travelling at high speed, causing the red box to appear and move quickly.

What did you ...

If it helps: The railgun kill zone is near the top of the cargo pod parabola, where the pods transition from being invisible to visible (or the other way around). I was getting deliveries and possibly dropping excess at the time.

What did you do?

I was building a railgun platform, copied a railgun facing right, then moved it partly over one facing left.

What happened?

"Unexpected error occurred" dialog box.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

No error.

Does it happen ...

This might be a minor issue, but here goes:

What did you do?

Have radar revealing one chunk, and another chunk next to it permanently revealed using roboborts.

What happened?

The fish gathered at a line at the edge of a chunk, not moving.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be ...

I see this on some icons (rail signal, furnace, fuel), but not others.

I can also reproduce this by trying to force-replace a medium electric pole next to a rail line, after moving the signal in my hand next to another rail at a different angle. (I'm doing this using remote view.)

What did you do?

On Vulcanus, start killing even more demolishers using artillery.

What happened?

One of them is completely still, even when fired upon, not much of a challenge.
Then when the artillery goes over the chunk in front of it, it suddenly starts moving.

What did you expect to happen ...

I've seen this too, it's pretty annoying!
