Space chamber doesn't duplicate block rotations
avosirenfal opened this issue ยท 4 comments
Copying IC2 (and other) machines works, but the blocks aren't placed facing the direction they are in the source space chamber. I'm not sure if this is NBT block data or what, but it would be very useful if it could properly copy machines.
Tested in Age of Engineering 1.10.2
This issue has been marked as needing a response from the reporter for over 2 weeks without receiving one. As such, it has been automatically closed.
This is in general really complicated to do as I don't know if the metadata of a block is significant to mean a different block (i.e. different colors of clay) or is used for rotation
Maybe a config option for hinting metadata treatment would work. A dictionary of block ids to metadata treatment (ignore, ignore but copy, must match) would enable this functionality. Also, a way to flag all blocks in a mod, with specific block entries overriding mod-wide entries, seems like it would be a useful feature of this functionality.
In this way, the feature is made possible but the grunt-work of figuring out which mod needs which setting is left up to the end user.
