[0.17.79] Train track start location is incorrect after connected rail pickup

Post by paulcsiki »

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place three connected train tracks a -> b -> c
2. While on the train track extension highlight mode right click on the c and then b tracks and note that the highlight for track extension is not reverted to track a

I've always seen this as not a bug. If you are talking about the arrow staying behind even when the source rail has been removed.

Imo it's more of a feature request to have the arrow automatically move back to the previous rail from the source rail (in your case c->b once c is removed)

I don't see it as normal and expected behaviour.

Thanks for the report. That's working as intended. The placement arrow actually has nothing to do with the rail it was clicked on. The arrow just needs some rail/place to start with and then can continue on without the original rail.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for confirming. It is confusing though...
