1. Build a ghost entity on ghost platforms in space
2. copy the ghosted part.
3. print/force print/super force print the blueprint on itself
Result: nothign happens
expected result: As we are in editor mode, its build immeadiately

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. Nothing is built in this case because the ghost already exists and so the editor instant logic does not apply. Placing a blueprint over an equal ghost is functionally “copy paste settings” and no build action is performed.

I’m going to put this into ideas so if another developer wants to poke at it and add support to the editor to do this they could.

That does not seem to be correct. when I am in editor and I paste a blueprint on ghost, it instantly appears. The problem seems to be that is does not apply to building tiles. That seems to be a bug. Here is a video proof: https://youtu.be/hHaS5MFtSbI
