When trying out this neat feature from 1.1.0:
Ghost build can be used to fast replace non-ghost entities, which results in an upgrade order with (optionally) a direction change order.

The drones don't seem to be able to handle the change of direction. They'll go and replace it, but end up replacing the belt with the same belt, the upgrade doesn't go away, and they just go back and forth in an infinite loop.
