2.0 allows users to now blueprint vehicles and their equipment grids. When creating a new blueprint, the direction that the vehicle had is retained inside of that blueprint as long as it remains in-save:
This is not a major issue, but it may cause certain blueprints to become unplacable when the orientations are reset. Left-most is manually placed, middle is placed with a blueprint made in-save, and right is the in-save blueprint converted to string and back:
However, when a blueprint is exported to string and then immediately re-imported, the direction of the unit is lost and it's orientation defaults to north:

If this is the case, then the fix should be very straightforward.This is not a major issue, but it may cause certain blueprints to become unplacable when the orientations are reset.
