[kovarex] [0.18.45] Cannot place blueprint with <Shift> when overlapping powerpoles as centre of blueprint
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:53 am
I did try a search, with no results, so apologies if this is a duplicate - can't believe no one has reported it.
What did you do?
Tried to place a rail blueprint (shift-click) over some trees, using power poles to line up with the existing rails/poles
What happened?
Nothing happened.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I would expect the trees to be marked for deconstruction and the blueprint to be placed.
To replicate, take the attached blueprint and place it in the world. RELEASE THE BOTS and let them do their magic. Once the track has been built, take the same blueprint and overlap the centre power pole in the blueprint with a physical pole in the world. (The pole should be under the cursor) Make sure there are some trees (or cliffs for the masochistic) in the way, that will force you to shift-click, and it won't work.
I think this was introduced with the most recent blueprint changes, because "it used to work"™. I did notice that if I don't shift-click, but just normal click, the power interface is opened, so it seems like the presence of the power pole under the cursor is taking precedence over the laying of the blueprint.
