b ✅ Upgrade planner bug

27 days ago
(updated 27 days ago)

If you place an upgradeable ghost item (say, an assembling machine level 1), shoot the shotgun, and then use the upgrade planner to upgrade the ghost while the projectile is in flight, it places the upgraded item (an assembling machine level 2 or 3). Tested on Factorio 2.0.76 (base only) with Blueprint Shotgun 0.2.18.

A video example and save with a minimal reproducible example are available, but the GitHub has issues and discussions turned off, so let me know if you want me to post them somewhere.

Dangit, I had this typed out and I was going through tabs and never sent it:

Wow, that is a crazy exploit. It makes sense with how I'm doing things, but I'm surprised nobody ever found (or reported) it until now.
Thanks for the report, fixed in 0.2.19
