Hello everybody.

It's just a minor issue i think but it drives my eyes crazy (ok, only sometimes ) when the ALT-view of the assembly machines and the modules are shown above the spidertron while walking over them.

Some picture which describes the problem of my eyes

1.0.0 Normal-View, everything okay: 1.0.0 Alt-View, the Modules are flying above the spidertron and are not longer sticked to the assembly machine: 1.0.0 Alt-View my Expectation:

Have you ever realized that alt-mode overlays are also drawn over the player character? I think this is entirely indented behavior.

It's an overlay, it's supposed not to be occluded by game entities.

Well the Spidertron is the first vehicle which can walk/drive over machines, and so the physically standing over the machine becomes a - in my opinion - funny view.

Would it be a simple solution to place all spidertrons in an overlay level above the alt-view-overlay level? It's already happening for the torso of the spidertron on power cables...

That assumes everyone wants that. I don't. Please keep as is. I need to see the recipes of machines, no matter what.

Well the count is actually 1:1...
