Automatons update conflict: hinges movement properties vanished
Hi :se:
I noticed a strange behavior since yesterday update (and I got it too during the beta): after loading my world, all the hinge blocks had no movement properties.
I then tried to remove some mods and finally removed this one. Once I reloaded the world, the movement properties of all hinges were back so I could rotate them again.
This did not occur before. It seems Keen changed something in the hinges definition that conflicts with this mod (and that's sad cause I can't live without it ;-) )
Please let me know if you need more information.

confirmed, got the same issue

@DecadoMeridius: thanks for confirming :selike:

I tested several things in the meantime: I tried to move this mod at the top or the bottom of the mods list without success and then I tried something else: I loaded my world, made a copy then removed this mod, loaded the copy, verified my hinges were working well and then I readded this mod -> it works again and I confirmed with several world reloads :-)
The main issue is I have to rebuild all my solar panels ;-)
I don't know if this is due to a corrupted world (playing for more than 5 years on the same one) or if this is due to some changes in the recent Automatons update :se:

but your workaround indeed works.

Has this issue been resolved with the current hotfix? I haven't experienced it since the update. However, if the problem persists, could you please provide me with one of your worlds that is still affected by it?

Hi, yes this is solved. I've been able to reload the world saved before Automatons update, checked everything worked, saved, reloaded and I have no more hinges problems.
Thanks a lot :selike:
