[Rseding91] [0.16.27] wagon hint is not always displayed with blueprints
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 1:40 pm
Factorio usually hints the position of wagons in train stations when things are placed in the vicinity of the station. this is also the case when using blueprints.
i use blueprints for my station designs. now i encountered a blueprint, where this is not the case with version 0.16.27.i recall that this blueprint had no issues with the former versions. (see edit at end of post)
i stripped the blueprint to drill down the problem and it seems it has something to do with the perpendicular extend of the blueprint, but i am not sure.
this blueprint does not show the hints when placed as intended:
if i however create a blueprint where the two splitters at the bottom are removed, the wagon hints are correctly displayed:
The working blueprint is
i created a sandbox testlevel where the screenshots are from and which contains the blueprints, see attached files.
--------------------
EDIT: i did some further investigation and i must admit i was wrong. i went back to 0.16.22 and this blueprint does not trigger the hints there as well.
i was confused because i used to have this blueprint including the rails and i changed that recently. if rails are included, the hints are triggered in all versions. so i guess triggering the hints is the position of the (invisible) mouse pointer to be near the station. and if you use a blueprint that has its geometric center relatively far off the station, the hints are not triggered.
so all in all i guess this is not as much a bug but rather a feature request to have the hints triggered always if a ghost entity is to be placed near the station?!?
