[0.15.25] Drag to place from initial stack size 1 fails
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:10 am
I tried hard but I couldn't find a previous report. Seems strange this hasn't been reported before.
If I place & drag locomotives while running along the track, all 6 of the locomotives will get placed if I start with the stack of 5 in hand. If I start with the stack of 1, the game misses that I have 5 more in stock and switches to empty hand. It thus stops placing them. Upon further investigation, it seems that this behavior exists specifically if you start with a stack size of 1 in hand (with more stacks in inventory) and is not specific to this type of object. I confirmed for locomotives, cargo wagons, fluid wagons, laser turrets, beacons, fast and express belt.
This behaviour is very specific to starting with a stack size of 1. If you start with a stack size of 2 or more, the game correctly picks up the next stack and continues placing more than 2. It does not seem to matter whether the additional stack is in hotbar or inventory. It does not seem to matter if you have multiple reserve stacks.
