[0.18.42] Mass Ghost Placement with Inadequate Construction Robots Returns an Inaccurate Maximum of Missing Robots.

[Inlaudable]

Placing a mass amount of blueprint ghosts down (in my case, a tileable circuit factory) with an insufficient number of construction robots to do the job only gives an accurate return of alert "___ entitites are missing construction robots" up until 601 entities, at which point the number will stay until the number of entities needing robots drops back below 601.

I replicated at 203 robots, 307 robots and 419 robots inside the logistic system, while placing down blueprints in different locations, of varying designs and item contents (factory, turret complexes, mining complexes and a smelter complex).

Log attached.

This is the number of alerts for missing construction bots, not the number of construction bots missing. NaB.

I agree it's WAI, but boy, this is misleading. There's no way anyone can understand what's going on (save those lucky enough to get the explainations from the devs).
