[1.1.57] Wrong direction of undeground belt when building from ghost or blueprint

Post by mekanic »

Hi,

I noticed an annoying issue with blueprinted/ghosted underground belts.
I'm not sure if it's a mod thing or not but I don't know how to diagnose it - perhaps it's a known issue?

What happens:
1. When I place a matched pair of undergrounds (non ghosted - belt in hand), all works OK.
2. When I put a ghosted pair (or blueprint) e.g. copy-paste existing part of base, and then DRAG an undeground-belt in hand over it, both parts of the underground are the same direction - i.e. they don't connect!
3. Undegrounds placed by bots work OK.

Game versions:
I have lots of mods (20+). This happens in both vanilla and Krastorio games on 1.1.57.

Log attached.
I realize this may not be a plain game bug but I'm not sure where else to put a query about this? Please disregard if it's a mod issue in your evaluation. Thanks.

Are you saying you can reproduce this in vanilla?

If vanilla means no mods then no - but I can try, I'll uninstall all mods and try, or use fresh .zip install. Will let you know.

Several things do not seem right in this video, even the first underground belts do not auto rotate after placing the entrance.

OK I don't get it. I ran a version with no mods and it doesn't happen - but it's worse, hovering a belt over a ghost doesn't built it at all.
I thought that this was vanilla behavior when I hover an item over its ghost it auto-builds - it doesn't?! So then it's one of the mods I just need to find which one. I tried with several but none of the suspects like module inserting etc. were the bad guy. Hmpf. I guess I can retract this report then? :)

Yeah that's not base game behavior. You can leave the report as is.

For future generations, I started testing all mods I have one by one and found the culprit:

Picker Extended + Pickter Atheneum - that's what does all the good things with ghost autobuild and has this bug.
Sorry for confusion , will ask them about it.
