Importing Rail Strings - Straight Rails get offset?

[ChickenMacNugget]

Hi all! Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Please delete if it is.

I got Factorio this week and I'm loving it. I'm currently working on a rail network and am testing out rails. I've been trying to import rail blueprints using various mods that make it possible to import blueprint strings("Foreman", "Blueprint String", "Killkrog's Blueprint Manager", etc.... Basically all the available ones that I could find to make sure it wasn't the mod causing the issues).

However, with every single one of the blueprints I've tried to import that have rails (and ONLY the rails, every other entity is fine), the straight rails that are pointing in any of the 8 directions (N-s E-W and diagonal) all seem to be offset when I open the blueprint. The tool-tip image preview appears to be correct, but when i hold the blueprint in hand and hover over the landscape it goes all offset, and when I place the blueprint it gets placed that way. Construction robots also can't deal with the weirdness and only build some of the system (the rails that haven't clipped into other entities).

I've included images below that might help explain a bit better. Does anyone know of this issue, and a possible fix? The blueprint example is from Zisteau's Meiosis series, which was updated today, so it should work with my version.

Thanks for any help!

could you upload the save?

Hi kinnom,

Just spent a few minutes making a new map, importing the blueprint and getting some robots to make what they could from it. Attached is the save game

Hmm that didn't fix it unfortunately :/

Post a copy of one of the strings that are giving you issue.

Did you create the string or get it from a website?

Well I managed to get it to fix by using the feature in "Foreman" called "fix positions that I clicked on just while trying everything. That seemed to put all the rails in their correct positions... I guess I know what that button does now I wonder why it's need though? Is it due to the old way rails were connected?

Thanks to you both anyway!

there were some changes made to blueprints in 0.13 i think and it broke a lot of blueprints
