[SPZ2-5269] [1.0.0-beta6] Cannot 'mirror inverse' Wagon loaders/unloaders and loops

[west trout]

The following train parts can be mirrored, but the mirror inverse key does not work on them:

• Wagon Loaders
• Wagon Unloaders
• Rail Loop

Steps to reproduce

• Select one of the above components
• Pressing the F key mirrors the component to the left/right of the rail
• Pressing Shift+F does nothing

Additional thoughts

I assume the root of this problem is that Mirroring rail components works differently than the rest of the game. Everywhere else mirroring a component will mirror it north/south while 'mirror inverse' mirrors the component east/west. This is a problem for players who swap the key-bindings for mirror and 'mirror inverse'.

I prefer mirroring east/west to be the default, hence why I swapped the key-binds.

I don't know if it makes more sense to make rail components work like other components and always mirror north/south and 'mirror inverse' east/west, have 'mirror inverse' reverse the direction of the track, or have it simply do the same thing as mirror specifically for rail components.

Shift F (inverse mirror) doesn't work for buildings that use 2 tile buildings selected from the toolbar
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

The Shift F keybinding for inverse mirroring does not work on structures that occupy 2 tiles when selected from the toolbar. When placing 2-tile buildings on space platforms, pressing F correctly mirrors them, but Shift F does not change their orientation. This occurs in Classic Mode on regular scenarios. The expected behavior is that Shift F should inverse mirror the 2-tile structure's orientation, similar to how F performs regular mirroring. This was closed as a missing feature rather than ...

Station connectors and station corner connectors do not mirror or flip correctly
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0 Release [1.0.0] • Resolution: Obsolete

Station connectors and station corner connectors do not mirror or flip correctly in Manufacture Mode. When selected from the toolbar, station connectors fail to mirror and station corner connectors do not mirror or flip at all. When copying existing connectors, station connectors mirror correctly but station corner connectors fail to flip and mirror incorrectly, only supporting clockwise direction instead of both clockwise and counter-clockwise. The expected behavior is that all station conne...

Blueprint mirror action not same as building placement
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: None • Resolution: Missing Feature

The Mirror / Flip keybinding behaves inconsistently between Blueprint and Structure placement. When pressing F on a Blueprint, Structures flip vertically (up/down), but when using Pipette then F on a Structure, it flips horizontally (left/right). The inverse keybinding Shift+F also behaves differently: it flips Blueprints horizontally but does nothing when applied to pipetted Structures. Users expect consistent flipping behavior where F flips horizontally and Shift+F flips vertically for both...

Using F flips and Shift-F mirrors
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Missing Feature

The bug report describes confusion about the Mirror keybinding behavior in shapez 2. The player reports that pressing F performs a vertical flip instead of the expected horizontal mirror operation as stated in the Keybinding settings. This occurs in Classic Mode when testing the F key functionality. The expected behavior is that F should perform a horizontal mirror operation, but it currently flips vertically. The report was closed as working as intended, suggesting the keybinding description...

Single tiled building selected from the toolbar do not respond to mirroring
Done • Priority: Low • Fix: None • Resolution: Missing Feature

Single-tile machines selected from the toolbar do not respond to mirroring when pressing the mirror keybindings. To reproduce, start a new Classic Mode savegame in the Regular scenario, enable cheats, place a space platform, select any single-tile machine from the toolbar, and attempt to mirror it. The mirror action has no effect. Mirroring does work if the machine is cut or copied first. This has been classified as a missing feature rather than a bug, as mirroring for single-tile toolbar sel...

Cannot mirror shape buildings
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Game: 0.1.0 • Resolution: Done

The Keybinding for Mirroring Structures does not work correctly on certain Buildings. When attempting to Mirror a Machine that can be rotated, such as a Cutter, by pressing the default Keybinding F, the Structure is not rotated as expected. This occurs in Classic Mode when using enable cheats. Building Variants can still be rotated normally, and Space Platforms containing only that single Machine can also be rotated. The issue is caused by a type assignment error in the placement input system.
