I am in agreeance with Neroziat. I am using IR hydraulic pistons to make outriggers for my skinny lander so it will have a wider base when landing on an incline. I just spent over an hour figuring out why the outriggers would not extend. Having landing gear on the fuel tank,which is on the end of the piston, stops the piston from extending due to the LOCKED autostrutting. My plans for this glorious ship are in the trash can because of all this autostrut garbage. Making the feature switchable to "root part" would pretty much fix this whole fiasco. I dont care if I have to use real struts. This crap is really ruining game play.
