How can I build normal horizontal foundations connected to foundations rotated by a mod?
Pictures for illustrations of the problem will be in the comments.
I am using @AndreAquila s mod "Auto foundations under railways" to make long smooth train highways with very nice curves.
The problem is, that I want 2 or more rail lines running parallel to each other on these highways, but if I place a rail with a slight offset to the original line, under which the highway was created, it creates a differently curved rail that hovers over the highway and clips through it.
To solve this problem in the past, I have placed ramps at points where the modded foundations are set at the same angle as the surface of one of the vanilla ramps.
This allowed me to place shorter rail sections, whose start and end points lined up with the surface of the highway and through this create nice parallel rail lines that conformed to the shape of the original rail.
Since yesterday though, when I try to place foundations on the highways they are always placed with the same amount of tilt the modded foundations are, and it is impossible to get normal horizontal foundations without building them on terrain and then building them over all the way to the highways, and because of this it has also become impossible to place vanilla ramps whose surfaces are at the same angle as the surface of the tilted foundations and thus create rail tracks on these highways that arent in the middle of the highway.

(Video explanation:
Metal ramps that are already placed at the beginning aligning with the concrete foundations have been placed in the past and their bottoms are horizontal to the world.
4m metal foundations hovering in the air next to the highway are built over from the cliffs to illustrate what horizontal looks like
Trying to place any ramps or foundations now on the highway are always tilted at an angle and it is impossible to recreate the orientation of the originals)

Here is what happens when you try to place tracks on the modded foundations directly without aligning a vanilla ramp first:
Here is what happens when you try to place a parrallel track in exactly the same way as the first one with just a slight offset at the start and endpoints
Here is what used to be possible with the method described above but now is no longer possible for some reason:

Update these mods, there may be fixes for your issue in doing so.I have already tried using the versions of the mods that I had installed at the time where everything was fine but got updated since
Hey Edelor!! Hmmm, seems like something changed in the game related to foundation grid when we change the Roll degrees of a foundation.
Don't know if it will solve, but using Infinite Nudge Mod , Locking the hologram with H, Holding Ctrl and Shift and Scrolling with the mouse wheel seems to roll the foundations in a precise way. Don't know if you tested that way already.
I'm trying here, seems to help a bit.
I don't have infinite nudge installed, I will try that later today.
Do you know what changed it to behave this way? As I said above, it didn't do this in the past. Was it a game update itself?
I think so Edelor. The spawning of foundations of the mod didn't changed since the first version. So the degrees they are in is the way they always spawned. I think something changed in the game, some fix that Coffee Stain must be made in the snap points of the foundations.
Alright, thanks! If it's possible it would be awesome if there was an option in future updates of the mod to also spawn parallel rail lines with the foundations, although I don't know if this would be even more difficult to do through modding than it is to do in game.
I was working on it some days ago. But they are spawning strange unfortunatelly. Seems like something in the spawn spline is not working right in the mod editor. But i will keep trying to find a solution for it. The idea is to have Railx2 and Railx4
Tested it and it works perfectly with the pitch adjustment from infinite nudge. Ill close this thread.
