Mining drill blueprint bug

[tocko73]

I was playing factorio, and I had a blueprint containing mining drills, and noticed that when placing an electric mining drill on a spot without ore, it just doesn't place. However, even when a mining drill wouldn't have been placed due to no ore, it still conflicts with other blueprints, even though nothing would overlap once the blueprint was placed. I think that checking if a blueprint can be placed or not should be based on what will actually be placed, not based on what the blueprint says will be placed.

If you hold shift, it will force placing the blueprint despite conflicts (exactly the behavior you describe wanting).

Edit: Also, and this may just be me, but even if this wasn’t the case, this feels more like a suggestion than an actual “bug”.

That is not a bug.
