[0.17.69] Inserters not waking up after construction

[EpicFail1403]

Pretty much what the title says.

So I built this oil facility with blueprint and bots. Then I found one of the inserters idling, not recognizing the assembler next to it, As shown in the pic below.

I'm able to manually activate this inserter (rotate/rebuild/etc.)
I probably built the inserter first, then went back to base for more assemblers.

Thanks for the report. Without a way to reproduce how it got into that state I'm afraid I don't know how that happened. The inserter is sleeping in the curved rail.

OK I managed to reproduce this in vanilla.('gazillion mods' removed)

• Import the following blueprint

• Build rail, inserter, assembler, in whatever order, powered or not. Do not build the box. Despite the presence of the assember, the inserter waits on curved rail instead of assembler.

• Rotate, rebuild, or anything. As long as the inserter faces west, it will wait on curved rail.

• Build the box with the inserter facing west, the inserter keeps waiting on curved rail.

• Now rotate the inserter again. It recognizes the assembler

Well, since inserters aren't consistently prioritizing curved rail over other things, maybe conisder merge threads and move this bug out of minor issues?

There no new information in the duplicate that is not already known in the original report, and even if there would be, it would call for a reference of the duplicate not a merge that just bloats it with redundant stuff.
If you have reason to think this is not a minor issue you can state that in the original report, without new information I will not move it.

Ah yes I see now it is a duplicate of that other report. And unfortunately I don't have a nice answer for either report. If I could make everything work nicely in both situations I would but as it is now... I don't know how. Sorry.
