[2.1.8] Requesting beacon upgrade doesn't display potential crafting speed

Post by pentaquark »

I love the feature of 2.1 where, once you place a ghost beacon or module, hovering over a machine shows what the crafting speed will be once everything is built. But there's (at least) one case where this info isn't shown: when upgrading a beacon to a higher quality. To reproduce, place a beacon with e.g. speed modules and wait for it to be built. Then place an uncommon beacon ghost on top of the existing beacon. I would expect it to show that this will give a higher crafting speed once the new beacon is built, but it doesn't show this.

Edit: this also applies when upgrading the quality of e.g. an assembling machine or foundry, or upgrading an assembling machine 2 to an assembling machine 3.
