[0.12.7] Can't Open a Entity (Chest) in the Editor.

Post by StoneLegion »

Not sure if I'm doing it right but I placed the Chest down and went to items and hit q to clear my hand but I can't right or left click the chest at all. I tried a few other structures without any joy. I also removed all mods.

Can't reproduce: Right-clicking a chest opens it just fine for me in the map editor.

It is because you are in the item selection mode, you need to select the entity mode to add/modify/open/delete entities.

The icons are very confusing - it would make more sense to put boxes and inserters on the entity mode icon.

The icon is misleading, I have to agree. If it just contained items that aren't actually buildable (like iron-plate, coal, copper etc.) it would be much cleaner.
