[1.1.12] Ghost building from toolbar still range-limited
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2021 8:04 am
What did I do:
1) Start a new game
2) Put a transport belt in the toolbar. Player has no transport belts, so it's a ghost
3) Click the transport belt, place it, hold the mouse, and drag it across the screen.
What happened:
Ghosts were only placed within reach of the player. If shift was held, then ghosts were placed outside the reach of the player.
What I expected to happen instead:
I expected "picking up a ghost" from my toolbar would let me freely place a ghost anywhere a ghost could be placed, that is, anywhere in radar range. I can still do so by shift-left-clicking. Now that I think about it I could understand if this is just the new ghost building behavior, but it is a change.
Potentially a related behavior: trying to place the stone furnace (which is in the inventory of a new player) out of reach doesn't produce an "out of reach" error.
