Blue Print Preview

[Saint]

Hi, I was making today some new Blue Prints and I saw a little Bug in the Blue Print Preview ( in the Book and during placement ) with trains.

because it was too hard to explain how to reproduce it, I made a image and short video with a mouse and keyboard overlay

my system
Factorio 2.0.28 build 81088 Space Age Win 10

here the test blueprint code from the video

I started for a clean test area in creative mode gave me the items added a free space and then deactivated the mod reloaded and made the video

Thanks for the report however there is nothing wrong shown here? Trains without rails will not render the wheels because the wheels only have meaning when on rails.

[Saint]

The wheels belong to the train even if it is not on the rails, so it always looks like an error in the graphics. I checked first the game for errors in Steam because I thought the graphics files had an error.

It would look much better if the entire train with wheels were always visible, in other buildings part of the graphics are not hidden if you e.g. over water or lava with the machine where you can't build it.

It definitely looks odd, yeah. I think it would make more sense for the wheels to default to being straight in such cases, instead of spontaneously disappearing. Ultimately, though, it's your decision.

...Ultimately, though, it's your decision.

yeah, that is true, we can only say what we think and hope they change it. Factorio is my absolute favorite game
