Switching to paste a blueprint should not disable symmetry mode if placing onto grid
Not Enough Votes
When placing a blueprint to snap to a grid that I am using symmetry mode on, it automatically deactivates symmetry mode. This is a problem because I cannot always see that the mode is off more am paying attention. This causes me to realize much later and have to redo or replicate my work on the other side in a mirrored form. I at least think there should be a visual indicator on the HUD, a sound effect for it enabling and disabling that is easy to hear, and maybe just make it globally toggle like in SE1 and disable in certain scenarios like partial copy.

I think the reason it turns off is pasting blocks doesn't work properly with symmetry at the moment. If placing an "L" shaped blueprint, for instance, the L won't be reflected with symmetry and it will be oriented the same way as where you're placing it. They have this in their notes to be fixed in a future update though.
In the meantime, I did notice that if symmetry is off and you're placing blocks on your grid then one of the shortcut tooltip buttons is "J - New Grid." If you see this "New Grid" tooltip then symmetry is off. When symmetry is turned on then this tooltip won't appear. Not the best solution but it is a way to get clued in without having to look for the symmetry plane.
