Very important feature that should be added in KSP 1.11.1

[MrFancyPL]

Ability to strap things to the ground. Why devs added construction lamp, if you can't properly place them, and they are just rolling on the ground, or falling.

1.11 just came out...  perhaps they would add it to 1.12 when ever that comes out

[MrFancyPL]

We'll see.

I Agree With This

I Recommend 1.11.1 Will Only Be A Bug Fix Update

I Do want to stop the flag being broken

And yeah, the construction lamp is moving.. by its own..

[Souptime]

Didnt they add something to make sure that things like that dont happen?

Meybe area is already claimed by someone else?

Like The Mighty Kraken?

You cant claim his space just like that - You have to beat him.

IIRC from when I was playing around with this earlier, it depends how you place them.  If you place them with construction mode using an engineer, they roll all over the place.  But if you place them using the arrow button from the inventory, they will stay put.

I have no idea why there are two different modes for placing these deployables, each with totally different results.  You can't attach them to any thing or place them in the VAB, so construction mode doesn't even make sense for them (and of course can only be done by an engineer, which is weird for deployables).

Because with the deploy icon (down pointing arrow) you're telling them to deploy it. Going into construction mode and dropping it, you're telling them to drop it.

Yeah and it's bad design because I think a lot of people (such as OP, and I think I saw Matt Lowne do it too in his video) "deploy" things using construction mode, and also it is weird that only engineers are skilled enough to be capable of dropping things (but anyone can deploy them).

Weird doesn’t mean unrealistic. Could be union regulations.
