[1.1.41] Redundant power pole placed while building
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:40 pm
When placing inserters and power poles in a line, I am experiencing mysterious extra power poles being placed on some occasions. In this scenario I am placing inserters and then using my hotkey to change what I am building without letting go of the mouse button, and then sometimes letting go of the mouse button to leave gaps.
One of my viewers was able to capture it happening in a Twitch Clip here: https://clips.twitch.tv/GloriousUnsight ... NGNRfdHf7r
The same viewer broke the video out into individual frames, and you can see the frames for the erroneous placement in the attached 7z files.
My expectation is that the mysterious pole should not be placed under the condition that you see there. If I slow down and place these entities slowly and with precision using the exact same mouse movements and button presses, these poles do not seem to appear. They only appear when the player is placing the entities at full speed, which might make this extremely hard to reproduce.
This isn't causing any serious issues as it is only an extra pole, but Bakerstaunch thought it would be a good idea to report anyway in case it is causing other issues.
