[Rseding91] [2.0.76] Hub missing from space platform in sandbox after importing from other save

Post by princemaggots »

What happened?
Using /editor in my sandbox save, I imported the latest version of my space platform, Scrape My Data (overwriting a previous version of the same space platform) and noticed that the hub appeared to be mysteriously missing. The space platform I imported from does not (obviously) have this feature.
Imported surface. The space platform I am having issues with is checked.

I tested it, and noticed that this happens anytime I use the "import as" feature with this space platform, regardless of the surface chosen. I tried replacing both planets and replacing another space platform, and got the same error. I also tried importing from another save where I had used this space platform and the issue still occurred. It only does not occur if the space platform is imported as a new surface.

Thanks for the report. This is expected in the case of importing onto not an existing platform (hubs are only placable on platform surfaces) however it looks like the logic doesn’t work right when overwriting an existing platform.

Looking into this more - attempting to make importing arbitrary platforms onto arbitrary platforms has a lot of edge cases that the platform logic doesn't currently support. So, I'm not sure if I want to attempt to make all of the edge cases work or simply reject importing platforms "as" any other surface. From a gameplay perspective - importing a platform as a new platform has no disadvantages (it's identical to how platform creation works).
