Inconsistent "copy/paste" interactions from map view

Post by fienxjox »

The "tool" (blueprint) based copy/paste works on copying the settings for interactions either nearby or via map view, however the "basic" copy/paste settings interaction works on some types of entities via map view (trains/stations/wagon filters) but not others (combinators, assemblers, circuit settings, etc.). Ideally all "copy/paste" interactions whether quick or via a blueprint would work the same locally and in map view.

Copying settings is shortcut for opening an entity and setting it up and as such is limited to players reach distance and therefore does not work from map view with an exception of entities that can be opened and configured from map view.
