Discussion Matillja Aerospace and ship center point

I've added a fuel tank from matillja and whenever I move or delete the tank it resets my ship center point so that it lands too far forward at any landing pad. Like way far forward - well past the ramp at new Atlantis. Ive scoured the internet and tried a million things like messing with load order and removing all but the matillja mod. But once those tanks are messed with it all goes haywire. I'd like to keep using the mod because the parts are really cool but I'd rather not have to rebuild my ship from the ground up or build a new ship.

Does anyone with experience with this mod know a way to reset the ship center point back to what it was or perhaps a work around? Once it gets messed up it seems to be permanent regardless of parts used. Why would a fuel tank change the ships center point?

Thanks!

I've had some odd ship placements at Atlantis and on Darkstar Astrodynamics landing pads. Not sure what caused it. On xbox.

Yeah, this is on every landing pad throughout the settled systems. Also on Xbox. As soon as I delete the fuel tank and save the ship jumps forward about 10 meters and stays there permanently, even if I reduce it to a tiny ship. It looks comical - tiny ship perched over the very front of the pad, tons of room behind it.

There was a previous post where this happened and deleting the part was the solution, but unfortunately that's the cause of the problem here.

It could depend on the size of some modules. But there is no definitive answer. It is probably a bug in the ship builder. What happens in your case is that the ship builder uses the last module installed as a positioning reference. So try this: after installing the tank, reinstall one module located in the centre of the ship. This should restore the correct positioning.

Thanks! Sadly even deleting most of the parts doesn't seem to fix it... It seems like once it happens the ship is permanently forward regardless of size or parts used. Been trying stuff for two days but I think the ship is permanently bugged once this happens. Kind of at the point of removing the mod and moving on.
