[2.0.13] Rocket silo preview won't show logistic network range unless in ghost mode

Post by savnidy1582 »

Trying to place a Rocket silo in different situations
It's inconsistent that it sometimes shows the range of logistic network and sometimes does not.

Here's the list of scenarios:

- A character trying to place a Rocket silo
-> It won't show logistic range, which is expected in vanilla.
-> In Space age, it's still not shown. It would be better to show the range of logistic network, so bots can deliver items requested by platforms to the silo.

- Trying to place a Rocket silo in ghost mode (press Shift or enter Remote view)
-> It will show logistic range even in vanilla, which is weird. Rocket silo and logistic network would not directly interact in vanilla.
-> In Space age, you can see the range of the logistic network only while in ghost mode. You should be able to see the range of the logistic network without ghost mode too.

As for placing ghosts, logistic overlay draws so you know if the ghost is in range of a logistic network and will be built by a construction robot.

As for the silo itself, given that in SA it works quite heavily as a requester from logistic network and as a provider for orbital logistics, i decided to do the change and make the rocket-silo item to trigger logistic overlay. For ease of change i decided to add "draw-logistic-overlay" flag onto the rocket-silo item prototype.

Changed for 2.0.15.
