station builder keeps flipping modules upside down - possibly already fixed

Post by Vertigo 7 »

I can't find a common reason for the builder to keep doing this but it seems to have something to do with rotating sequences more than 180 degrees around a vertical axis. Sometimes its obvious when it flips a sequence upside down on the horizontal axis, like certain production modules, others, like E docks, its difficult to see with the weird builder transparency - so you can end up with a station with 12 or more E docks that are upside down. Awesome, right?

Are you definitely using the latest version, 7.00? I'm asking because "Fixed incorrect rotations of station modules under construction after loading" is one of the changelog entries for 7.00, and the modules appearing upside down was one of the specific cases that this addressed. If you are still experiencing it with 7.00 then we would need some steps to reproduce it in order to have any chance of working out how it can still happen after that fix.

Yes I am, though I didn't catch that particular note and I just realized all these dock modules i had built were upside down last night (built prior to that fix). I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it does it again.
