Im having an unpleasant nightmare everytime i build an aircraft.

Sometimes the my picking up tool is bugged and changes into hand tool and im completely unaware of it. (The 3 pentagon with one arrow thingy still shows but you can also drag a part with your bare fingers)

It ruins my creation then if i undo. It leads me to the 10-50% of my 90% nearly completed build that took me hours..

If some of you are gonna ask why dont i check it everytime.. ill just answer it that it happens randomly.. it depends how many times to open up your xml, transfer part and etc menus.. and it will just adds up another hour if i will check it if my tool is bugged..

Im really stressed and lost my mood on building bcus of this bug...

IK some of you wont care because you are not also experiencing this problem.. but what i need is a help on how do i get rid of it...

    Was working on a build yesterday evening on my PC. Custom control surfaces, custom cockpit, the works. Game crashed abruptly. Lost five hours of work. It didn't even bloody autosave it in the designer (or at least part of it) as it usually does, and idfk why. This has been happening a lot.

    My thesis is that this problem only ensues after manually attaching parts with the built in attach thingy, and if the mobile cursor is behind the XML mod. when XMLing, set the mobile cursor aside of the will be window. And for the attach thingy, after manually attaching, double click the hand button to reset the cursor to be in the middle of the screen, this could fix the bug of having the finger also able to move parts, double tap or quadruple tap the hand button again just to be sure, and test in on a easily placed block like a tail assembly to check if it doesn't bug anymore. Always have the habit of double tapping the hand button to reset the cursor every now and then, to fix the bug and Always save even if one part was added.

    Sometimes i get annoyed with my phone screen being broken in the upper 1/3 part of it ad i have to constantly flip my phone to resize because the resize is blocked by the broken part and then flipping it again to put the parts because the broken part blocked the screen

    People complaining about apparently "90%" of progress lost.. SP doesn't save changes made by 3rd party mods like Overload, so if you change some settings, use the paint tool and retouch something. That way if you press undo, it saves the progress you made

    This happens on mobile. It’s stupid because if you press undo it just deletes all progress you made recently.

    I’m sorry to hear this, but this probably has something to with your phone itself, rather than SP.

    Oh OK I got it.
    You're on mobile, right ?
    I also have this problem.
    You have to be very careful. When using the picking tool, don't put it in a corner and use your finger. If youn do so, double-click on the picker/finger icon to replace the picker in the middle of your screen.
    If you want to use your fingers to rotate the view, be careful not to rotate the view while on a part bc it will drag the part and not the view.
