  • When any operation creates an undo, it replaces any previous undo that was available.
    
  • When a block-detach undo (as opposed to send-to-SCU) is available, if you detach a block from the Tech that the operation applies to, the undo will be invalidated (the button disappears).
    
  • You can still do the exploit where you detach a block, replace it with a different block, then hit undo to attempt to rebuild the Tech around the replacement block - provided that you don't detach any more blocks after the initial detach.

  • Bugs posted on the TerraTech forum are handier for the dev team to manage as it's easier to respond to and ask for more information where necessary.
