[0.15.5] Copy-paste disconnects circuits

Post by NorwegianBlue »

If you copy from an filter inserter that doesn't have red/green wire connections, onto an filter inserter that does have red/green wire connections, the red/green wires are removed from the filter inserter you pasted onto.

That might be an intentional side effect since you are attempting to paste a configuration that does not have a circuit network related configuration to one that does. Perhaps there is a way to filter out those extra configuration items for this particular type of case?

Not exactly a bug since when you are pasting you are telling the entity to copy the settings from the other entity. If that entity is not connected, neither should the one you are pasting to.

But to make it more intuitive, convenient and consistent, I made it so copy pasting will not touch wires, neither connecting nor disconnecting them.

Changed in Version: 0.15.7.
