Are you just dropping it on the ground? Or using the place function?

It's really the same if you "place" or "drop" it, it'll always lay on it's side, instead of standing upright. It doesn't bother me personally, but I understand the gripe.

Some of the 3D models are just made with 360° lateral rotation in mind, but can't be changed in a vertical "x" position, or upright when placed by the player

Yeah I gripe about this with a couple of things, like suitcases and briefcases, certain backpacks, the welding mask etc. Perhaps some day the placement system will allow complete rotation on all axis, but not today!

You'd have to make a mod that overwrites the items ground model with one you edited yourself to be upright instead of laying on its side if you wanted to fix it. Perhaps someone has done that already - it's simple enough with free tools, etc.

OH MY GAWD, its like the devs never seen a fire extinguisher in their lives. ever...
Joke. I'm kidding.

For context:
I heard once they never saw a baseball bat in their entire lives. True story, right here on the steam forums a while back. I laughed and am reminded of that post.

AND for more weird DEV shenanigans-

We have map symbols on our shiny map we can use.
We have cars in game, but no car icon to place on the map. We have NO boats, yet have a sailboat icon we can place.

Devs be trolling us hard.

Merry Christmas Devs and happy holidays to EVERYONE!

The model for the fire extinguisher is capsule-shaped unlike your standard flat-bottomed cylinder ones. And considering its encumbrance, maybe it's the small portable ones that you can actually put inside your drawer. Maybe that's why?

I will defy the laws of physics if that is what it takes for me to have vertical extinguishers, not even the gods can stop me from my goals
