[2.0.47] Train schedule is overriden when using blueprint

Post by shnaps »

Noticed that when I'm using blueprints for trains, the second pasted train schedule would be overridden by the first pasted existing train. Blueprint used is attached. Gif with flow attached as well. https://imgur.com/a/HoZDzch

When the blueprint contains the name of a train group, the new train is assigned to that group. If the group already exists, the train is given the schedule from the group already in the save, and the schedule in the blueprint is discarded. This is intentional so you don't have to update all your blueprint whe you tweak the groups schedule in game. If you don't want this behavior, remove the group before creating the blueprint.

I get the same behavior when there are no train groups assigned to trains in bp as well. "No groups assigned" on first train, paste another train from a bp - schedule will be overridden.
I also tested new bp creation from scratch. Still the same behavior. What exactly do I need to do to avoid it?

Hmm, that might be a bug. It'll be easier to replicate if you can upload a save file with the affected blueprint in your inventory.

Absolutely, I've attached my sandbox where I found the issue.

I'm not sure about it, but should this ticket be moved out from the "Not a bug" subforum for now, if it is a bug potentially?

I'll check your save file tonight, but I'm not a mod so they will do what they think is right.

Nevermind, I think this is not a bug. After some testing I figured that interrupts with the same name override each other as well. I changed name from "Dispatch" to "Dispatch - *W" in my case where * is number of wagons and started to work.

Oh right. Interrupt names are also overridden by what's in the save already. And since they can't be unnamed there are limited ways to share them via blueprints.
