I am unable to rotate any assembly 2 building, prior or after lying it down. So far it is the only object that is supposed to rotate that doesn't for me.

You can only rotate them if you set a recipe which has a fluid input/output?

OMG, I should realize by now when I can't figure something out the answer will be the most logical reason. I do think however it would be good to allow rotation prior to placing the building down though.

Not quite sure how that would work though. Since you can't select a recipe until you place it down, rotating it beforehand still wouldn't really indicate where the input for a liquid would be, and there is no reason I don't think to rotate one that doesn't require a liquid. :p I could definitely be wrong though.

You could simply delete the "show_only_when_needed" tag for the fluidbox's.
