Yeah lol

I discovered this bug while drag-building a bunch of vertical oriented steam engines onto horizontal ones expecting the drag-build would stop there.
But then it allowed me to drag over one horizontal steam engine whose center matched with my cursor and the vertical steam engine quick-replaced the horizontal one like how belts and chemical plants are quick replacable.

This is not expected behaviour to me as quick replacing a steam engine's orientation does not have much use cases nor is it intuitive due to its 3x5 rectangular size.

Reproducible by trying to place a steam engine onto the center of a perpendicularly rotated steam engine

Thanks for the report however because this is not breaking anything and isn't causing balance issues we won't be changing it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
