    Did you use this bug and do you think it should be kept?

    Along with the cargo update came many bugfixes; among these was a 'fix' for being able to rotate any block.

    I know I can't be the only one that has used this; but I thought that this oversight was very useful for creative design. I seems like a backward step to limit players creativity. Unless this fix is a foundation for something else, I think that I wouldn't be the only one who would like this fix to be reverted or at least

    Sorry if someone else has said this already, but I thought this might get more attention here.

    It wasn't really a problem so I don't know why Schema bothered with it.

    I would really like to be able to rotate grass blocks :(
    Yup, and metal grilles and plex/blast doors.

    You know, maybe it wasn't intentional - the idea was to finally add rotation to decorative pipes, but someone accidentally flipped a sign somewhere and instead removed rotation from all those other blocks... ;p </sarcasm>

    I have a mixed opinion on this. Maybe it should be a config value.

    There is really no point in rotating a block that looks the same all over, except to increase save-file sizes because of a lower compression level.

    But once you modify blocks, ... you should be able to revert it.

    Sometimes textures on cube blocks aren't exactly the same in all rotations. What was that block I wanted to rotate yesterday... Oh yeah. It was an activator. That's a good example. The hand icon is turned sideways on something I built and there's no way to fix it.

    Maybe even just go halfway and try to remove limits on blocks that really should be rotatable, instead of reverting.
    Although, I don't think slightly larger blueprint file size is a huge problem.
