This is follow up on 128717

What did you do?
1. Build inserter in horizontal direction
2. Select and copy inserter with ctr+c 3. Rotate ghost in hand
4. Super forced build over inserter with ctrl+shift+click
What happened?
Only on_pre_build event emitted
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expect more events. At least on_player_rotated_entity or maybe even on_player_flipped_entity in case it was flipped

Where'd you get that log? Is there a debug tool for events?

Yes

I’m still feeling side effects from workarounds to this bug. I’d like to link the accidental duplicate bug report that I made for this: viewtopic.php?p=674604#p674604

I hope the alternate account for the reproduction (with videos) helps find a solution.

I am suffering from this bug as well.

Building an entity with a different rotation on top of another via the clipboard (like one might do when pasting a recipe from one machine to another, or rotating many machines in bulk) doesn't raise on_player_rotated_entity, despite having rotated the entity.

This is a problem for me, since my mod has compound entities which need to support rotations. Right now, with this bug, I can't support those rotations without unacceptable levels of jank.
