[0.18.17] Constant Combinator Icons Do Not Rotate

Post by hyspeed »

Hi,

1. When I place a blueprint, the icons within the constant combinator do not rotate with the blueprint.
- See attached image for an example.
2. The internal icons maintain their position.
3. I want the icons to rotate with the constant combinator.

Additional Info:
I use constant combinators when building layouts to indicate what materials are on the belt. If I place the blueprint in a different rotation than what it was originally created under, the resource indiicators are not as useful.

thanks,
jon

Those icons are only to show the contents of objects, they are not meant to be signs.

I would suggest using a belt segment with items on it as indicators, or try changing the order of the items in the combinator and having specific blueprints for each rotation (I'm not able to test if this actually works right now.).

That's not a bug. Constant combinators don't have rotation.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
