[Linux 0.18.17] Loader points the wrong way when using pipette tool.

Post by ohmyfactorio »

I'm playing in the sandbox mode.
When you use the pipette tool (default keyboard Q) on a loader that loads into a chest, it defaults into the opposite direction. This happens for all directional orientation of the loader:

----> = loader
[ ] = any kinda box

---->[ ]

pipette tool on the loader results in

<----

Loaders that unloads from a chest don't have that problem.

Loaders, same as underground belts have 2 states and when building from cursor, they are build in some initial mode (unloading in case of loader) and only way to build loader in loading mode is to build unloading one and flip it. Similarly how pipetting assembling machine with recipe set will not make you place assembling machines that have also recipe set.
