[New Builder] Ghost Objects

Support
1

Summary:
Tried to undeploy a Mean Bed and place a Comfy Bed on its place. Since undeploying wasn’t working (The reason: “This item is in use. Try undeploying it later.” even when it’s not), I decided to use “Move Item” and put it outside of the building and then use “Destroy”.
However, whenever I try to place a Comfy Bed where the Mean Bed was, there is a “Ghost Bed”, only visible when placing items or using the builder, blocking me.

Objects that were moved outside of the building, “ghost objects” inside:

I think this has always happened. I think the reason is because the building sees the bed is not there, so it orders another one be placed there as if the building is being constructed. The ghost bed is probably the same thing you would see if you ordered one to be placed outside.

I had it happen every time in the old builder too. Has been that way for me for as long as I can remember.

Yeah I’m getting the same issue with ghost objects in the new builder too. I can undeploy them and they don’t show up in the game world, but they do show up in the builder.

I never experienced this in the old builder. I could move and undeploy objects and they would be removed from the building even in the building editor.
That’s why I designed using mean beds: I was going to remove them and place comfy beds when I had enough slikweed. Now there are those ghost objects in the way.
