Nice work DaveMcW

Seems like good changes to me.

So what would happen to these blueprints? Would they uprev automatically, or would they just stop working?

I've attached it. I've renamed the broken book to something like "grid megabase broken scroll", but that didn't seem to affect the behavior. It still behaves as shown in the video. Making a copy of it still results in the copy behaving correctly.

I've definitely noticed the difficulty with ghost placing trains as well, to the point I basically don't do it (outside of blueprints that include them).

Maybe you want to tackle this one at the same time? Even though it's not quite the same, it is similarly annoying.

Yeah, I figured we had a miscommunication there so I made the video .

Still happens for me in 1.0. I made a video to demo the issue: https://youtu.be/-p42CCwW-vQ

Thanks, sounds like a good fix.

I'm not sure I agree that this merge should have moved this into "Ideas and Suggestions" instead of "Bug Reports". The usability of tab+keyboard on these fields is pretty bad compared to what's expected from modern UX, and I think should remain in the bugs forum.

This is also the case with the dialog boxes to set colors for train stops, trains etc... Tab puts the cursor at the end of the box and adds to the existing number instead of overwriting it.

Shower thought: What if you could set the reference point in-world by simply placing the blueprint, which would be particularly useful for blueprints that are designed to tile nicely with related blueprints already aligned in-world to some arbitrary point. It could also have some way to specify tha...

I have a large rail blueprint, which I have used a number of times in my base. I now find myself wanting to make a version of it with landfill underneath, but it needs to align to the same grid as the original blueprints. I've been having an extremely hard time lining them up correctly, for several ...

Other entities show the name as well as the entity type.

This is actually a common issue if you do that type of copy paste on fast recipes on beaconed assemblers as well. An 8-beacon + 4 speed module III assembler making Assembling Machine 1 will request 4750 iron plate, 2600 iron gears and 1500 electronic circuits.

What did you do? Open blueprint book (called "Grid Megabase") from "my blueprints". Attempt to use Shift+Scroll to scroll within it. What happened? It did not show all the blueprints, instead getting stuck and only displaying the last blueprint from the first nested book until I...

What did you do? Open the blueprint book edit GUI, and start typing. What happened? Typing into the Name field did not occur, keys were still bound to keyboard controls for the game (w key moved up, P key opens production GUI, etc...). I am able to type in the name field after clicking in it with t...

I've run into this a few times recently, and it would be nice to have a solution.

Depends what you want; there may be some situations where one of these is better than the other. Like the one I suggested lets you include landfill only under the sections of the blueprint that you want to have built on water, and not on other pieces (like walls and turrets are likely unnecessary o...
