Steps to Reproduce

1. Drop a Rocket silo ghost on a standard sandy dirt ground

Expected:

• Rocket silo ghost looks exactly as it should be - normal texture but blueish, slightly distorted, and transparent

Actual:

• Strange dark rectangle beneath the silo appears

•

• It disappears after being placed

That’s the Hole that the robots have to dig so that the Rocket can fit underground.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
