[1.1.5] belt lock always on with underground belts and pipes
Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:38 am
As the title say, when the new "Lock belt building to straight line" option is disabled, the new behaviour is still on while the old one does not work anymore.
This is especially annoying when placing ghosts, as this previously allowed to place multiple undergrounds with the same orientation with no flipping.
Steps to reproduce for the ghost placing scenario:
- turn off "Lock belt building to straight line" from the interface settings
- place underground belts/pipes while holding shift and left click (ghost placement) and dragging perpendicularly from the direction of the item
What happens:
- can only place one underground, unless dragging along the direction of the belt/pipe
- the underground orientation is flipped by 180° after placement
Expected:
- can place any number of undergrounds parallel to the first one
- orientation is kept
Arguably the new behaviour is ok when placing undergrounds normally, as there is no use case for placing unaligned flipped undergrounds while dragging, but there previously was a use case when ghost-placing and it would be great if it was kept.
