Placed blueprint from map view, and… I'm almost sure (but then I rarely am 100% sure, sometimes envy the fools) that it was placed only in the visible area. I mean, if this were belts
and the line is the limit of the visible area, then only the left part is placed,
which of courses messes up everything if the blueprint is part of a pattern, and you rely on it being N tiles or have N of item X.

FYP on that.

So they are huge blueprints? What happens if you zoom out to ridiculous levels using a mod or console command (I believe its something like game.player.zoom=0.25) and try placing then?

FYP?

What happens if I "hack" so the visible range is greater? Well, probably would get placed right.

And I checked and confirmed, BTW. It does place only the ghosts that are in the player-visible area.

I'm pretty sure any type of visibility (player or radar) is enough. And that restricting the building of blueprint to visible areas is an intentional mechanic.

FYP is a wierd meme-ish acronym for " feel your pain" which began, if I'm not mistaken, as something former US President Bill Clinton once said. The colloquial meaning is, approximately, "I share your suffering from personal experience." No doubt more information is available at the standard places

Oh, I know "feel your pain", I just didn't know FYP (and Google didn't throw this meaning up either)

As to the mechanic: I am *sure* I stamped blueprints into non-radar-covered areas in 0.15.

.

Wait what? It's not possible anymore? How am I supposed to use huge nuclear power plant blueprints now?

Stamp them down, then either move to a new area (or add radars to get more coverage), line them up and stamp them down again.
