[1.0.0] blueprint breaks power lines

Post by Mazeru »

occasionally when [shift] placing blueprints over existing power poles it disconnects the wires from the poles.

Shift+click on a power pole is a shortcut to disconnect all copper wires from that power pole. Shift+click a second time to also disconnect all signal wires.

Maybe the game sometimes registers this shortcut instead of force-placing the blueprint?

Not only sometimes. It's always happening if I need to shift build a blueprint and the mouse is hovering over a power pole. (grid based rails etc.)

Decon the pole first solves it temporarily.

You might be able to change the keybinding for one of the functions.

Well, lot of functions are disabled when holding a blueprint, and this one should probably be among them.
