Be warned, in the stairs blocks there is a device called Stairs Freestanding, yes its a DEVICE.
It is NOT a block and yet it is grouped IN with other blocks, the other stairs DO NOT count as devices.
This is extremely important if you are on a faction planet and don’t check how many you use, your TAX bill can balloon thanks to this hidden device.
I just found this by accident and now need to change 50 of the damn things, there NEEDS to be some kind of marker on blocks which are actually classed AS devices.

Thanks Rex, so far its only the one stair of the 3 in that set, might be something to ask the devs about if its intentional?
