[Rseding91] [0.18.43] Placing train ghosts only possible in certain situations
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2020 9:19 am
Hi Devs,
placing train BP or ghosts of locomotives and wagons seems a bit erratic recently: When I try to place a train BP (without rails) or rolling stock ghosts it seems to me that I have to find the right position that allows placement. Initially I thought it's completly impossible but with when I tried a bit for writing this report I discovered that with doing the placement the correct position it is indeed possible.
How to reproduce:
* started a new vanilla game,
* made all research available,
* enabled creative mod in the console,
* placed a bunch of rails
* create a stack of locomotives
* place a locomotive on the rails - works
* without moving the mouse remove the locomotive
* without moving the mouse place the locomotive ghost -> in most cases doesn't work.
I've tried a lot of possibilities now, e.g. trying to place the ghost with snapping to train station or trying to place the ghost when I'm in certain locations in the middle of the rail track and sometimes (rarely) I can place the ghost but so far I failed to recognize any pattern. Especially I'm confused that I even when the ghost snaps to a train station or another rolling stock item, I cannot place.
For blueprints, it seems I can place them only when I created the blueprint with the Filter "Entities" off, manually removing the rails (e.g. with right click on the rail component) doesn't work - and it's imposible to detect or change that later in the BP.
