Now, while this is a dev-tool thing, it is SO CLOSE to the Tab + 3 key which allows a rail to be rotated in its place (And 4 to rotate the other way - also applies to wedges and other rotate-ables) that it being pressed is common.
After hitting Tab +2, rails in some orientations have a bugged texture, with, seemingly no fix at all from within the game short of a complete reinstall.
I have checked the texture files themselves, and there is no "damage". This is something hidden in the game
Tab + 1/2 used to rotate textures, with both cancelling out of each other. It was also not "permanent", can't remember completely but either restarting the game or reloading the entity worked.
It doesn't this anymore, only a few blocks get rotated and those textures end up skewed. Can't rotate them back or reset it by restarting the game.
Only deleting the .jar file and re-downloading it seems to get it back to normal.
Don't care too much if this gets fixed or not, but putting some kind of option to enable to allow any Tab command to work seems recommended. Too many of them have the possibility to ruin your gameplay experience.

...this may be a complete over-reaction to the problem to reinstall, because I had assumed that the textures for Heptas and Tetras has been broken for a long time, on one side of the ship, they tile horizontally, on the other, they tile vertically
-validated- & -confirmed-
You don't need to reinstall everything, just the StarMade.jar
Tab + 1/2 used to rotate textures, with both cancelling out of each other. It was also not "permanent", can't remember completely but either restarting the game or reloading the entity worked.
It doesn't this anymore, only a few blocks get rotated and those textures end up skewed. Can't rotate them back or reset it by restarting the game.
Only deleting the .jar file and re-downloading it seems to get it back to normal.
Don't care too much if this gets fixed or not, but putting some kind of option to enable to allow any Tab command to work seems recommended. Too many of them have the possibility to ruin your gameplay experience.
Putting in queue just for the sake of it.
