Mirror mode issues

[Sir Hc]

Not sure why but today I started playing on my singleplayer world and wanted to add some cargo containers to my ship (i found a wreck with a bunch of cargo) and so I added them, then looked and it had only added on one side, which was weird, I had X mirror on, so I tried again and it still didnt work.

I then looked and saw the mirror line on the X axis is no longer in the middle of my ship, where it was fine yesterday... Any tips on how to move it? (no control for it that I saw)

[Sir Hc]

And of course, a second later, having gone out of and back into build mode several times the X mirror is fine again - Will file a bug report

There is a button to change the location of the mirror axis on the left side of the building mode. It looks like a arrow with two heads. This will move the axis to the currently highlighted block.

Oh! I didn't see it, will look for it. Thanks!

I seem to be having a similar issue whereby i cant place a 1 slot turret in the middle, even though the mirror x is on? I've never had issues before, I've started a new save recently, and its been happening ever since...

Have i pressed a key by accident?

Exactly right. I'm betting the X axis was slightly off-center. That happens sometimes when you alter an existing design, or apply a saved design to it.

Deselect all by middle-clicking the mouse in empty space, then open the Mirror menu and hit all three axes "Move N Mirror To Current Selection." As you have nothing selected, this defaults to the exact centerpoint of the ship. I have to do this more frequently than I enjoy.
