Hi, I have this save, where I have a blueprint in my inventory of a beacon with 12 smelters and 4 substations. When I place the blueprint all the structures are created as ghosts like normal except for the 4 substations. Why is that?

Here's that weird log file:

I'm doing this for the first time. If I did everything right, that link should get you to a page, where you can download the savegame. The blueprint is in my inventory, NOT in the blueprint book.

The savegame's name is "9th freeplay.zip"

I also have a savegame where it is impossible to place a ghost of a Big Pole under a Tree 2. Should I post something about that here, too, or should I start a new thread, or is it so unimportant that it's not worth mentioning?

I think these bugs might be related to changes in the collision size of substations and big power poles. (I read in the changelog of a patch, that big power poles are smaller to allow the player to squeeze between them and accumulators).

Thank you for your time and help

With what version of the game was the map generated?

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2016 9:11 pm**

Probably 0.13.0 I'm not 100% certain, but it's my first game of freeplay since 0.13.
I can guarantee that it's not 0.12.-anything.

Additionally do you have a way to reproduce the issue on a small test map? (50x50) so I can debug it?

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2016 9:41 pm**

I tried. I can't reproduce the bug that the ghosts of the substations won't be placed, now I feel like an idiot xD even though it still doesn't work on my main save, after playing 30 more minutes.
However I created a few "Tree 2" and again I was unable to create ghosts of Big Poles just south of a few of them.

Here's a picture of an exsample position where a big pole can't be created as a ghost, even though there is nothing blocking it theoretically.
And a picture of the first problem.

I added a tiny testmap. It doesn't produce the bug from the headline, but it has the second bug in it! just try to create a ghost of the big poles from the chest near the spawn directly under the first tree to your left. it won't work!
Edit: Nevermind that map doesn't work. How can I transfer my 50x50 test map to others?
I'm new here, I am trying to figure this all out as I go... ^^'

Here it is. In this little map full of trees I tested placing Big Poles and Medium Poles as ghosts. I marked the zones in red in which you can place Big Poles manually but not as ghosts and I marked zones around trees of the lowest line of trees on the map in blue in which you can place Medium Poles manually, but not as ghosts.

This is some issue with the bounding boxes of trees,
Which is somewhat of a minor issue for now,

Have you had any luck reproducing the first issue you mentioned?

No, sadly I can't reproduce it. I tried playing around with including tiles and activating/deactivating them, I copied the blueprint in the test map and tried it there, I tried making new blueprints of the same smelters in the game that has the broken blueprint in it, but nothing produces the bug except for this old blueprint. It must be an issue which has to do with your changes to how blueprints work maybe and probably it is something that very rarely happens... :S I can't reproduce it, excuse me.

Most likely this was already fixed in a different bug report. If you're able to reproduce it make a new bug report please.
