Hio,

when you delete items with a red Blueprint with filters, Ghost Items which would match the filter aren't deleted.
(I had to build my modular Trainstation-BPs like that in 0.15.13, caused by the non functional right klick issue )

For Retry:
Use a bigger blueprint and don't have all items with you, then delete items with a filtering blueprint (whitelisted).
The problem is, that you have to delete several times, caused by instantly building robots who get the items and build one ghost to that item instantly.

Ghosts are a different entity type - there's a filter that lets you select them - which means this is working as intended.

Now, I've been thinking about changing it so if you have an entity filtered AND the ghost type filtered then it will also work on normal entities and the ghost kind. But I don't know yet.

Ah okay, just found it in the BP...

Without knowing it, my thought was, that it deletes also the ghost entities, as long as it is the same type like the filter. Also the ghost filter does not specify the ghost item but all ghost items...

I would say that the most common case is that you don't case whether it is ghost or built entity of that type, when you want to get rid of it.

Fixed it for you

I changed it for the next version of 0.15 so it treats ghosts matching normal entity filters as normal entities.

Nice thx...
