b Modded Chest Ghosts Require Packed Item

Hello,

While troubleshooting a bug report in a save using my mod Quality Down-Binning in which robots would not place down-binners from blueprints, I found that the "missing item for construction" warning showed a yellow X. I traced this to Packing Tape and found that the mod causes placed blue prints to require the packed form.

I was able to reproduce this on a new save with minimal mods to ensure it was just this.

I've opted out of Packing Tape, which resolves the issue with my own mod for which packing down-binners doesn't make sense, but it is suggestive of a larger bug.

Environment

game version 2.0.77

base 2.0.77
elevated-rails 2.0.77
quality 2.0.77
space-age 2.0.77

packing-tape 20.0.7
quality-down-binning 0.8.0

Steps to Reproduce

Load game with Packing Tape and Quality Down-binning mods.
Place down-binner ghost in construction range of a roboport.

Expected Behavior

Robots place down-binner.

Actual Behavior

Robots do no place down-binner because the ghost is for the packed form.
If a down-binner of the appropriate type is packed and placed in the logistics network, it will be placed.

Thanks for the heads up. The game doesn't offer a particularly good way to prevent bots from selecting an item. I added another technique to get it to select the normal item instead and it seems to be working on the pre-patched (0.8.0) version of your mod.
