Machine Block Orientation

[Erasmus Crowley]

Launcher/pack Version: 2.1.1 (Recommended Build)

Operating System: Windows 7 (x64) (4GB of RAM)

Version of Java: Java 7 (V1.7.0) (x64)

Description of Problem: When I place some blocks (Mass Fabricator, Rotary Macerator, Singularity Compressor, Centrifuge Extractor) they appear in the world facing me. If I log off and log back in, they are facing in different directions. The Mass Fabricator appears to be laying on its side, and the advanced machines always seem to face East.

Error Messages: N/A

My server is working great. There are no error messages in my log when these blocks are placed, used, or moved. I have looked at these machines from multiple clients and each different computer showed them facing the 'wrong' direction. Up till now I've been designing my machine rooms around this issue by placing all my advanced machines on the West wall so they appear to face the 'correct' direction. Then I hide my mass fabricator below the floor so that I don't have to look at it and I pipe the UU Matter up to a chest. I finally got frustrated enough today to try and hunt down some information about this problem and after a couple of wasted hours, I finally decided to ask for help. Anyone know anything about this bug?

From my own experoence this is a client side issue, relogging would do the job.

Negative. This is server side, and unfortunately it may have to wait until Tekkit 3 to get fixed. I have the same issue, and it means piping around with the advanced machines sometimes breaks.

We had the same issue, and its lagissues from the server. What you have to do is to rotate it, and wait. It will rotate, it just takes time.

I should add that the majority of the blocks in the game work fine including most of the machines. The only ones I have noticed an issue with are the ones listed in my original post.

I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to Sp0nge. I thought that perhaps there was a way to rotate machines in place, like you can with the energy storage blocks and the transformers, but for the life of me I can't get it to work. Any type of clicking on the blocks I indicated with either the normal or electric wrench cause me to pick up the block.

Also, my server is pretty much a dedicated machine on my home network. I'm connecting using a network IP and not my outward facing IP address. I have > 90% of my CPU free at all times and plenty of memory. If there is lag, it absolutely boggles me what could be causing it.
