[BUG] Solar Panels Disappearing Upon Building a Hatch

Subnautica build is 38227.

Upon adding a hatch to a 3-corridor base, any solar panel attached to the top of the base disappears completely, wasting materials. It seems that if the hatch is built before the panel, it does not affect the panel, nor does adding corridors to the base affect it.

    Some collision meshes are bigger than the actual graphical elements, probably. If you want to be safe, build near the base on terrain, not on base elements. Sometimes building stuff deletes small attached objects.

    That said? Yeah, refunds for deconstructed items would be nice.

    Saaaame....its a bit of a pain that there's no refund. They should update base components to behave like the platforms when you try to deconstruct them, "remove attached objects first". Also, those collision meshes you speak of are indeed too big, sometimes taking things down that don't even touch the new module...

    Isn't there a thing where solar panels NEAR a base let the fabricator craft for 5, while a base with panels ON it ups the cost to 10?
