[2.0.9] Can't link ghost underground belts on space platform

We are aware of them, but do not have solutions that don't cause other issues. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[2.0.9] Can't link ghost underground belts on space platform

Post by EustaceCS »

Load the save.
Jump to platform (there's only one).
1. Try to place lvl1 underground belt entrance+exit by dragging.

ER
There's in and there's out. Link is shown.
AR
Two entrances facing each other. Link is not shown.

2. Try to place entrance+exit one by one.
ER
There's in and there's out. Link is shown.
AR
There's in and there's in. Link do not appear before and after attempt to place the outgoing piece.

Am I missing some hotkey or option flip? The stuff works just fine on surface.

Having underground belts be aware of tile ghosts in between to keep track of underground belt connection is... annoying, and i know there were attempts at handling this case but they were causing various desyncs (when real undergrounds were connecting through a tile ghosts).

Minor issue.

Question for devs: Can we expect this to be fixed in 2.1?
Currently ghost planning works perfectly on all surfaces except space platform, and I feel this doesn't mach the level of polish like the rest of the game.
Maybe potential solution would be a "fake" only visual connection, that doesn't actually connect the ends in game logic sense. And then check again when they are built.
