Can't ctrl-left click rails into another person's inventory in multiplayer

Post by fienxjox »

in multi-player you can transfer most materials from your inventory to another player by ctrl-left clicking the item on that player, however this does not work with rails. I have not found any other item that it fails on, just rails. Instead you get the ghost action as if you were shift clicking

I just tried it, and I can do it just fine, only the selection box isn't visible.

Using the default key bindings it just builds ghost rails.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well, ok, if it builds rails, that what can you do? I would still say not a bug.

if you want to transfer rails to other, you can Ctrl + Click and hold, then move over other's body
