[2.0.72] Can't access fuel tab when locomotive out of reach (fuel slot empties out)

Post by Dune »

When viewing a train's schedule / fuel and the first fuel slot in the train empties out while the train is moving away from the player, the fuel tab greys out and you get message when hovering over it(the fuel tab) that the locomotive is out of reach. But, if the slot remains full the train can move an (infinite?) distance and the fuel tab remains available - IE doesn't gray out.

In the greyed out 'bug', you can exit the train schedule and via map click the train again and the fuel tab is then available to view again.

Thanks for the report however I am not able to reproduce what you're describing. Could you make a video showing this issue? I think something is being lost between what you're experiencing and what's explained here.

Sorry, didn't get a notification that a reply was made. I made a video using the latest Factorio version to demonstrate that it is still an issue.

Ah I see now. Looking at the GUI logic this seems fully intentional. It never switches between ghost-interaction and physical-interaction and always sticks with the version it was opened with initially.
