[2.0.21] Inconsistent + Unexpected behaviour in space uncharted area: building silently fails, cannot navigate to ghosts

Post by sben »

What did you do?

Try to build in space and navigate on the map.

What happened?
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!


Video 1:

When trying to [shift+click] copy objects on space platforms outside the charted area, nothing happens without any sign why.
When trying to [click] copy objects on space platforms outside the charted area, it shows "Cannot build in an uncharted area".

When [Q] + [click / shift+click] belt outside charted area, the belt ghosts are built.

(Video seconds 30 to 35) when trying to place the clipboard structure over the newly built belts, still the case of "Cannot build in an uncharted area" - but there are structures already there!
(used [Shift+Click] while capturing, so it silently failed, tried usual click after capturing and error message appeared)


Also:
- missing error message when trying to shift+place outside charted area
- building outside charted area still possible, why is it sometimes but neither always nor never allowed?

No video:

Loaded the save, tried to do it again.

Could not build this way that much away to get it not working or get the message "Cannot build in an uncharted area".
Simply couldn't navigate further on the map. I could however zoom out and build further.

Video 2:

Cannot navigate to some of the ghosts placed. This ghosts do not show up on the map when zoomed further out.

I did not found that... what for me still left:

""" When trying to [shift+click] copy objects on space platforms outside the charted area, nothing happens without any sign why.
""" When trying to [click] copy objects on space platforms outside the charted area, it shows "Cannot build in an uncharted area".
""" When [Q] + [click / shift+click] belt outside charted area, the belt ghosts are built.

It should be somewhat consistent,
should either report always error message or should place ghosts always, but currently we have 3 different kinds of behaviours when building outside charted area, including that it sometimes fails without any reason given to the user why.
