Symmetry: Not all blocks are mirrored (atmo thruster, Gatling gun, etc)

When placing a block in symmetry mode, blocks should be actually mirrored against each other and not just placed in the same spot. For instance, placing an LCD panel on each side of an armor block will leave result in the LCDs both facing out.

However, some blocks do not actually mirror each other when placed in symmetry mode. In my testing, atmospheric thrusters and Gatling guns are facing the same direction against the symmetry plane and not away from each other. This is very clearly seen on the small grid atmospheric thrusters because one side has some exposed wiring and pipes, whereas the other side does not. If you place 2 atmospheric thrusters on each side of a ship using symmetry, the thrusters are not actually mirrored because the exposed pipes are facing in the same direction, rather than opposite each other. This can also be seen in the small grid Gatling gun as there are unique scratches on the sides that are not mirrored.

Repro:

1) In creative, place a small grid landing gear with a block on top.

2) Turn on symmetry for this grid.

3) On the side of the armor block place an atmospheric thruster on one side, rotating it so that the exposed pipes face away from the block.

4) Observe that the thruster automatically placed on the opposite side is facing the same direction, when the exposed pipes should be also facing out.

5) For reference, place an LCD panel on the thruster, noting that it is truly mirrored.
