[kovarex][2.0.68] Smart belt placing underground in place of a curved belt

Post by PurpleHyacinth »

Due to angry ghosting, screenshot hotkeys did not work, sorry :D

In the screenshot above, I was trying to angry ghost a rocket turret, but the smart belt system decided it should go under instead, when I was expecting it to just delete the normal belts and not try to tunnel under the turret.

On some versions of Windows you can just hit PrintScreen/PrtScn and it'll freeze the screen image while you make the screen shot.

I am not considering this to be a valid bug report because you are suggesting a solution for a case that does not have a valid solution. There are only 2 available solutions that belt fixer may do: either place undergrounds on both sides or not place any undergrounds. Your suggestion if i am reading it correctly is that belt fixer should build the bottom underground but skip building the upper underground due to belt corner that is too close and as such the underground should connect to a different underground belt that you already placed there ahead of time, changing belt connections in a way that should not be allowed. Moving to Not a bug.

I am suggesting your option 2, to be clearer. The other underground is a separate line, which is why i would not like it to underground at all.

Ok, if you want none of the underground belts to be built in that case then i think this would be a valid report.
