If using surface.create_entity to create a ghost it will immediately expire unless 'expires' is set to false (i.e. it is made permanent).

Expected behaviour is the new ghost would expire after the default ghost lifetime.

I experienced the same problem in the past: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=37619

The default ghost lifetime is 0.

Previously is you created a ghost with this method it would last for more than 0 seconds.

By default ghost lifetime, I mean the lifetime that a ghost would typically last if created by the player or a blueprint (or permanent if they are now permanent).
