b Miniloaders occasionally lose wire-connection when placed by upgraded blueprint

3 years ago

Hi,

the wire-connections between miniloaders and chests occasionally break when placed by an upgraded blueprint.

How to reproduce (in brackets is what i did):
1) Place a chest (steel chest)
2) from the north, connect a (vanilla express) belt + loader with the chest - incoming.
3) connect the incoming loader to the chest (red wire) and give it a condition (wooden chests < 100)
4) to the south, connect a (bob's ultimate) belt + loader with the chest - outgoing.
5) connect the outgoing loader to the chest (green wire) and give it a condition (wooden chests > 50)
6) take a blueprint of that (not copy/paste)

--> so far so good, everything works fine, and placing the blueprint works as expected.
For me it shows 1 ultimate loader, 1 ultimate belt, 1 express loader, 1 express belt, 1 steel chest.

7) update the blueprint (select new contents) from either a copy or the original construction

--> most obvious thing is: now the blueprint shows 4 ultimate and 2 express loaders

Now it's getting quite random, you may have to do this multiple times to see this:

Place down the updated blueprint - update it again (from either the original build or a copy) - place it down again - ...

--> at a certain point, wires between one or both loader(s) and the chest are not constructed.
--> even using that same blueprint repeatedly, sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't

Factorio version 1.1.5, Miniloader version 1.13.0

Thanks for your help.

Select new contents is buggy: https://forums.factorio.com/88100. You can create a new blueprint and delete the old one instead.
