Blueprints and absolute position weirdness

[drmason13]

I'm wondering if other people have noticed the same thing I have?

For some reason selecting new blueprint contents for a blueprint that has an absolute grid will destroy your offsets. Especially when rails are involved.

I considered raising a bug report but it doesn't feel like a new bug in Space Age, so probably not a priority.

As an example/demo:
Good offsets

If you then simply click the blue plus to select new blueprint contents and select the exact same objects, you end up with this:

Bad offsets

(I want the big power pole in the middle, not off by 1)


To fix this and recreate the original offsets I must:

• unselect `Snap to Grid`

• select new contents for the blueprint

• reselect snap to grid

• enter the offsets again manually

You should put in a bug report. The devs read those regularly, you will get a response way more quickly than posting it here.

I do hope they will fix it, would make my life easier while tinkering with new rails blueprints!
