This bug is about consistent blueprint behavior.

This is how it currently works.

• Take a blueprint of something and turn it 90deg with the r key.
• Put the blueprint back in the hotbar and then put it back into your hand.
• The blueprint still has the same orientation of 90deg.

Now in all cases you would expect the blueprint to keep the angle as it did in the the example above but there is one case where it doesn't.

Steps to reproduce.

• Take a blueprint of something and turn it 90deg with the r key.
  
  
• Put the blueprint back in the hotbar and takeout a deconstructer.
• Deconstruct something(doesn't matter what it's)
  
• Select the blueprint again and it will now have returned to its default direction.
  

If nothing is deconstructed then the blueprint keeps the direction.

Fixed for 0.13.18.
