    Type: No Cost BP Cargo Boxes

    Summary: When placing more than one of the same size cargo box on an HV, only the first counts toward BP cost. Any additional of the same size (not type) do not add BP resource cost.

    Description: I only observed this with cargo boxes. Tested a few other devices, but didn't find the same to be true.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Place 1 Large HV Cargo container (any type) on an HV & record the resource cost in the statistics tab
    2) Add a 2nd Large Cargo container (does not have to match the first, just needs to be large) and you'll notice BP cost did not change

    This is usually because the blueprint cost is in ingots, not plates, so some material can end up as waste. HV cargo boxes require 2 plates, and you get 10 plates from 2 ingots. So if you add one cargo box and it adds +2 ingots, you can add 4 more boxes for "free". Same is true of things like steel blocks / truss blocks / etc.
