    So that's milestones fixed.

    There is also a snapping issue, and the funny thing about the snapping issue is that, one, it is a console thing, but two, it may also have popped up in the tech EXP branch right now.

    But three, it's intentional.

    So the issue specifically is that people are complaining that belts and pipes in particular, they don't snap at all to World Grid or anything, or they don't snap as expected.

    If you play something snapped to the...

    Okay, so okay, from the beginning, everything's fine on console.

    And you build anything, literally anything, and you press R1 on PS5, or whatever the fuck, R... RT, RB?

    It's T, it's B, whatever, the small, more forwards towards you, right button on Xbox.

    You press that, to snap shit to World Grid.

    Fine.

    Okay.

    You do that.

    You play something,

    And then the issue here is that the game remembers what snapping mode you used.

    It does this to help you.

    It does this so you don't have to keep changing your snap mode to world grid by pressing this button again and again and again.

    But then there is an issue here where, because of this, belts and pipes are either unsnappable or they behave extremely erratically when you enter

    build mode from the menu immediately into this pre-saved, like, state of snapping to World Grid.

    And if you experience this, just pressing R1 to snap off World Grid and then back into it should fix that temporarily.

    Annoying?

    Yeah, we have workarounds to help with that.

    Either maybe make R1 a hold feature, or maybe opt out of the game remembering

    to go back into the same snap mode you used when you placed your last thing.

    Who knows?

    Looking into it.

    But that's the idea behind why or behind

    Now that's the idea we put into the game, and that's also why, what's causing belts and pipes to act up on console.

    And again, if you play with controller, on TechieXP, it might be there, on there too.

    And we will detail why, like, TechieXP may contain some weird issues from console, as well as some issues that have been fixed, since like, fall, October, last year.

    And we're detailing in the video tomorrow why that is.

    So, you can go watch

  2. that.
