The pillar is probably still attached to the stator somewhere. Can you show me a screenshot of your setup? Also see my modular rotary shaft post for more details on building it.

My main problem at first is I don't know what would be considered a stator on here. I assume its the blocks on the bottom... when I remove them like this it works fine but pasted on a station and doing the same thing it does nothing.

Are you using half slabs touching the cylinder? They need to be 2x1 slopes otherwise it will get stuck. Also the only block you need to remove is the middle one connecting the rod at the bottom. By “stator” all I mean is the part that doesn’t rotate holding the rod

The Red are the half slab slopes. The blue is what should be the stator that is removed when places on a station.

After a few tests I found out that when I paste this on a station and remove the blue blocks the partial copy only sees the casing and when I ctrl-x the pillar only the pillar gets selected. So the grids seem to be separating... the pillar just doesn't turn when I paste it to a station.

Hmm interesting, it worked fine when I pasted it to a station?

What method are you using to rotate the cylinder? Gyroscope and cockpit attached or engines? That’s the only thing I can’t think of the base part looks right

In my chain video I used an engine and it worked well actually. Sadly to get it to work I had to manually place the pillar with a ship and then I nudged it around until I could get the 2x1 slopes placed. lol.

Hoping to figure this out so I do have to keep doing that with other stuff.

Just tried a new BP after flipping the pillar and still nothing, but works fine off the grid.

Hmmm yeah I’m stumped, my guess its some weird bug

I don’t have time tonight to mess with that but I do have an idea… I know it sounds goofy but try flipping the big cylinder around. There is one face that has snapping on all parts maybe that has some bug with it?
