The preview shape doesn't switch when i put a different shape. It keeps alternating between the old shape and the new shape even when i erase the old shape.

Shape preview (belts) is sometimes incorrect
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Done

Shape Previews on Conveyor Belts sometimes fail to update when the shape being transported changes. After reconfiguring a producer from one shape to another, some belts continued displaying the old shape preview indefinitely, even after extended wait times. The issue appears related to Belt Launchers not triggering a preview refresh, and it is reproducible with any Belt Launcher, not just those delivering to The Vortex. Hovering over the affected Belt Launcher tile with another machine forces...

Shape Predictions do not work consistently in large savegame
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Game: 0.0.0-alpha23 • Resolution: Done

Shape Previews do not work consistently in large Savegames. When loading an affected Savegame and navigating to various Space Platforms, attempting to create Splits on Conveyor Belts often fails to display Shape Previews. In some cases, predictions appear only after repeatedly replacing or connecting Conveyor Belts. The issue is particularly noticeable in highly connected factories with many Structures. Expected behavior is that Shape Previews should consistently appear when drawing Split Con...

Shape predictions will disappear when using multiple machines on conveyor belt lines originating from the same mining platform in game.
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Fix Verified

Shape Previews disappear or behave erratically when multiple processing machines (such as Cutters and Rotators) are placed on Conveyor Belt lines originating from the same mining Space Platform. The issue is more likely to occur as the complexity of the machine chain increases, and Shape Previews may flicker or only display on earlier sections of the belt rather than at the end. Returning to the main menu and reloading the savegame temporarily fixes the issue, but editing machines causes it t...

Shape prediction does not update at vortex when changing rail route configuration from the same unloader into another
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Duplicate

Shape Previews at The Vortex do not update correctly when the player changes a Train Route configuration to redirect a train from one Shape Wagon Unloader to another. When two differently colored Train Routes deliver shapes through the same Shape Wagon Unloader, both Shape Previews display correctly on the Conveyor Belts. However, after rerouting one train to a different Shape Wagon Unloader, the Shape Previews on The Vortex fail to reflect the change. The expected behavior is that Shape Prev...

Space belt transfer shape visualizations are alternating between all available shapes even if they are identical
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Done

Space Belt transfer shape visualizations cycle through all available shapes individually, even when many consecutive shapes are identical. This causes the display to appear stuck on one shape for extended periods (e.g., showing the same Green Crystal approximately 50 times before moving to the next color). The expected behavior is that the visualization only stores distinct shapes and rotates between them, allowing faster cycling. This was observed in Space View when zoomed out to see transfe...

Predictions show wrong output
Done • Priority: High • Fix: Dimension Update [0.1.0] • Game: 0.1.0-pre4-rc1 • Resolution: Done

Shape Previews show incorrect Output on Machine Platforms / Space Platforms larger than 1x1. The predictions display multiple different Shapes that would be produced, but this does not match the actual Output. The issue was caused by a coordinate lookup problem in platforms larger than 1x1. Shape Previews used to work correctly before, so this was a regression. The bug has been fixed and predictions now display correctly.
