[0.12] placing ghost buildings with personnal roboport

[LotA]

Hi,

It's not really a bug but rather a uncomfortable annoyance :

When you're low on a building and want to place ghosts of it, your personnal bots take the item in the inventory but also in the hand resulting in a empty hand and the inability to place anymore ghost structures.

solution : make the personnal bot ignore what's held in hand.

I think a better solution would be, to ignore what is in your hand if there is less than 2.

I find the personal roboport fairly annoying, so I only equip it some of the times and remove it when I do something like you suggested (or remove chests filled with stuff) It's so easy for the personal robots to dump a chest's contents into your inventory and you end up with lots of "inventory full" messages. What would be nice is the ability to toggle the personal roboport on/off. Or, make it so that the personal roboport is off when you're within another logistic network.

Hm. How about being able to switch priorities between Personal Roboport and other roboports?

Off topic:
When I built stuff with ghosts/blueprints:
- I normally don't need it immediately,
- I need so much items, that II could not hold all
- I never have the right item with me
- I have just ordered the items to take with me for the outpost.

I haven't test them yet, but a lot of discussions came from the FF that showed it. I have to test to better understand it.

You can already place unlimited ghosts by making a blueprint of a single item. It's a bit cumbersome for the inventory because you don't have bulk blueprint storage, but it'll work.

The best solution I have for this is to use the inventory filters. If the toolbar item you're using runs out, then the filter would let you freely place more as blueprint ghosts. Placing a ghosted structure would be obvious, but I dunno if placing a ghosted raw material might mean anything useful. Probably not.
