[0.17.79] Uhh I don't know how placing Landfill Ghosts causes Biters to magically show up

I am just wtf about this. Look at that Screenshot. The Dead Biters are me just nuking ones I already made, and then I created more somehow by placing Ghost Landfill, and the Landfill doesn't even get placed.

I have no Idea if or which Mods cause this or if this is Vanilla.

Mind doing a log(serpent.block(data.raw)) in the last-loaded mod's data-final-fixes and posting the factorio-current.log?

Edit: nvm, we're on the same version, I'll run through and see if there's anything fun

aai-programmable-vehicles/control.lua, line 2531:
function
You're near enemy bugs, so it's making bugs.

Thank you for clarifying what exactly happened. So I will assume it is a Feature of the Mod of sorts? Not sure about that. XD

It's possible the author didn't realize tile-ghosts are actually entities of the type ghost-tile. It's a feature, not a bugbugs. I'd suggest reporting it since someone else is going to "???" if they run into it

I saw this happening a lot in my games,
never realised it's not a feature.
I always thought it was vanilla intended behavior to give te player a panelty for keep trying to build something near alien nests :P

That's fine. The bug is that it happens for ghosts. It should only happen once a construction bot comes along and tries to build. Or blueprinting should simply fail from the start.

Blueprinting DOES fail from the start (and still spawns Biters), just wanted to mention that. ;)

I mend fail without biter. The code that creates the bitter makes the blueprint fail as it misinterprets it as actual building.
