[0.17.31] Upgrade Walls to Gates results in wrong gate orientation

We are aware of them, but do not have solutions that don't cause other issues. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

Post by Turbofant »

Upgrading horizontal walls to gates with the Upgrade planner results in vertical gate segments:

Thanks for the report. That's technically working correct: walls have no direction and so they are facing the default direction: north.

If anything, I would just disable upgrade-planner wall <> gate logic. But, I'll leave that for someone else to decide if they want to do it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Ah... technically correct, the best kind of correct! :lol:

I thougt, if you place gates by hand, they would automatically allign. But they don't. :? :lol:

So disabling the upgrade from wall to gate in the upgrade planner seems reasonable, since it isn't very usefull without an auto-alignment function.
