Version 0.17.38

[FactorioBot]

Changes

• When a train performs path finding while in a chain signal sequence, the pathfinding will have a constraint to not go through reserved block before exiting the chain sequence. This solves a problem of train intersections being possible to be deadlocked even with proper chain signals usage in cases of using temporary stops or when path is changed because of station is being enabled/disabled by a circuit network. (68681) This also allowed us to to let train recalculate path spontaneously even in chain signal sequence, as it shouldn't break anything now.
• When a temporary blueprint(e.g. blueprint from copy) is placed in the quickbar, the blueprint won't be destroyed when clearing the cursor and instead moved to the inventory. (65332)
• Separated incompatible mods from dependencies in browse mods GUI.

Bugfixes

• Fixed possible fluid mixing from reviving fluid assembler ghost by higher version. (70266)
• Disabled areas of new map GUI are set correctly on exchange string import. (70355)
• Fixed that script rendering sprites loaded from files would disappear on save/load. (70318)
• Fixed that LuaForce::reset_technology_effects() wouldn't preserve things in the research queue. (70543)
• Fixed that using an upgrade planner on a blueprint wouldn't upgrade configured modules. (70565)
• Fixed cross-platform issues related to the Lua bit library. (70571)
• Fixed crash when changing controller in multiplayer and changing your selection at the same time.
• Fixed that blueprint shortcuts in action bar would become magically available when they are destroyed, if they originated from the blueprint library. (66002)
• Fixed that technology tooltips could sometimes end up behind the technology screen. (66413)
• Fixed that target leading would not take into account any slowdown modifiers on units. (70584)
• Fixed that the favorite button for servers wouldn't work correctly if the server was already selected. (70616)
• Fixed that rocket silos would show an unhelpful status in the tooltip. (68251)
• Fixed PvP crash when loading save games before "player" -> "character" rename. (70633)
• Fixed PvP crash when importing old configs. (70633)

[*]When a temporary blueprint(e.g. blueprint from copy) is placed in the quickbar, the blueprint won't be destroyed when clearing the cursor and instead moved to the inventory. (65332)

So does this now create a blueprint in inventory, or just in the quickbar?

from the description it sounds like the clear destination is then set to the inventory, and likely reserves a slot for it.

How does it behave with a full inventory though?

Fake news! It does not reserve an inventory slot, so when you do the described action with a full inventory, you simply won't be able to clear your cursor (you get an "inventory full" error when you try).

This behavior was one of the curses before items started reserving slots in inventory while bots harvest wood. You could end up with a stack of something in hands with generally no sane ability to dispose of it. I am sure this should be avoided even though it is a single piece

So it sounds like it behaves like copy/cut did before, until you put the blueprint into you quickbar, then it functions like creating a blueprint (alt-b). Is that, effectively, what you are describing?

[*]Fluid assembler ghosts now show correct pipe connections.

I think we are still waiting for correct placement of electrical connections when building a blueprint, aren't we? Hope they'll overhaul the functional issues of blueprint handling soon, I don't care as much about visual issues as long as it works (which it does not right now). Pls, devs!

100%.
At last I have safely spent over 2 hours in the "perfect" wiring, copied ... and due to spontaneous dislike, closed the game.

I am experiencing intermittent lock up with the 0.17.38 client. I rolled back to 0.17.37 and was able to play through that without any issues.

This is with a fairly heavily modded map with over 4k rocket launches I use for testing some of the mods I am writing.

If you have a save that locks up occasionally on 0.17.38, post it in the bug forum.

If you have a save that locks up occasionally on 0.37, post it in the bug forum.

And by 0.37 you mean 0.17.38, right?

You're right. Oops. Fixed my original post. Thanks.
