Blueprinting Space platform hub onto itself does change target to first

1. set a shedule for 2 planets
2. go to automatic and target 2nd entry
3. copy hub
4. paste hub
Result: First entry is now targeted
Expected Result: The target remains the same

The linked duplicate is a different case. I am not talking about requests here, but the destination the ship is flying to.

The logic is when a hub has its settings copied it sets the destination to manual and disables requests. As part of copying the schedule the current destination is cleared which defaults it to the first one.

This is all intended since the game has no way to know if a given request is still desired at that time or if a given target is still correct and or desired.

The fact it’s copied into a blueprint first and then pasted down from the same place the blueprint originally came from has no baring on how the above works.

The game has no way to know “its the same hub from a second ago”, for all it knows, the original hub was from a different save file, or the blueprint was made hours to years ago.
