Entity ghosts like chemical plants or refineries are missing the blue fluid input/output arrows when they are placed with a blueprint with recipes you haven't researched yet.

Steps to reproduce:

Start a new game
Toggle alt-mode
Place down the blueprint below. The machines on the left have the blue arrows, the ones on the right not. Filling in the machines will not fix the issue, only deconstructing them or setting a recipe.

Not a bug.

Placing a blueprint doesn't assign recipes that aren't unlocked yet.

Without a recipe assigned, there is no input or output set on the pipe connections, hence no input or output arrows.

True, it places a machine without a recipe. But if you directly place down a machine without a recipe it does show the arrows. This is inconsistent and I would consider it a bug.

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next release.
