Disable automatic radial/mirror switch


Recommended Posts

For the first time since 0.90 I just seriously tried to build a useful spaceplane and found a problem with the new radial/mirror attachment switch functionality which made me quit the game in rage and throw away about an hour of work (I probably should save sometimes when doing this stuff >.<).

For some unkown reason the game sometimes switches between radial and mirror attachement by itself and once you attached a part you can no longer attach parts with a different symmetry mode. I just spent over half an hour building a large wing with tanks that got attached radial when I started and I didn`t notice it. When I wanted to finish both wings with struts I found out that I can no longer mirror struts on the wings. That made me slightly upset but I thought I can just detach the whole thing and reattach it with the right symmetry mode but that`s the moment when the game decided to say ".... you" and simply won`t attach the wings at all.

Each wing had maybe 20 parts on it, the editor started to lag heavily and when I tried to attach them they were shown attached for like 1 second and then detached immediately.

Since I use Editor Extensions I have known this functionality for a long time and it worked wonderfully while it was still part of the mod but the way Squad implemented it just doesn`t seem to work. I don`t really need it that often so I would really like to know if there is a way to disable this feature in the configs or wherever?

By the way I never had this problem while building in the VAB, it only happened in the SPH. In fact I don`t remember ever being able to attach things with mirror attachment in the VAB when I tried since 0.90.

Press 'R' to change the attachment mode.

As I said, once a part is attached you can not attach parts to that with a different symmetry mode.

This means that since the wing was incorrectly attached in radial mode I can not attach struts to it in mirror mode. I would need to place each strut one by one and that would for sure not be symmetrical.
