What did you do?
tried to place quality 2 space platform foundation by pressing q on it in inventory

What happened?
it changed to no quality space platform foundation and didnt placed it

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
i was expecting it would use space platform foundation quality 2 to place as with no quality
or to be able to pick foundation quality 2 with q

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
always

i reported this before but probly wrote it not clear enough
not a copy of 118376 as it isnt about the hub and wasnt fixed in [2.0.15]

I'm sorry you are right
tho i want to suggest the possible solving idea
as platform foundations can be used in craft it would be bad if they were used as normal foundations automatically
but i want to at least be able to force place them when picking quality platforms with Q and place them as normal platforms
you can do that with quality flooring on any other surface with manual placing but not when using ghost entities

That would make it a suggestion i think
It's true that for now it's possible to place quality concrete manually, but not with bots, and that seem to be how the platform is built so no way to place quality space platform tile and no way to really use them apart for unerwhelming starter pack. Maybe that is also some kind of warning about where player put quality modules, some places are not worth it, or even detrimental.
