    Hello, I had asked on Steam before and got some pms but these turned out to be incorrect so I'll try here.

    Understanding that Page up/Page down raises and lowers the blueprint/spawn and Home/End effects forward and backward I have noticed several times that standing in the same area facing the same direction to spawn say a base next to another on our server that Home/End was moving the spawn left and right as though the player point of view had shifted 90 degrees.

    This has come in handy on multiple occasions where placing adjacent structures was concerned to orient doorways et al and there was only one of us on the server at the time. How does this occur? If there is a known way to reproduce this we would appreciate it.

    It has to do with the orientation. Insert/delete will rotate it by 90 degrees. So, when you rotate, the home/end key still move the base in the same relative direction to the bases orientation. Hence why sometimes it moves towards/away from you, other times it’s side to side.
