It's just start collide with big blocks and between themselves without damage but with sounds and sparks.

I'll need some more info/context, does it just fly away when you place one of the mod's blocks by themselves or when you have a certain configuration?

That screenshot shows a game bug with the colors/edges, I don't see what that has to do with this mod.
But I'm seeing something else there, are you merging multiple heads into one?
That sounds like would cause sudden flying sure, since the constraints are fighting eachother... I don't think I have a solution for that frankly, apart from advising to not connect them like that =)

This construction starts spinning without and trust. And accelerates. http://prntscr.com/iqo0mw And starts spinning when i paste it.

It's because they're constantly colliding, there's nothing I can do about that, modAPI doesn't have control over selectively making 2 entities not collide with eachother.

If you ctrl+shift+X on one of the top grids (to cut only the selected grid and ignore connected grids) you'll see that they're separate, not merged.

You could use merge block to merge them if you *really* want to have multiple bases but I suggest just using one base :P

No. YOu can. I don't know why, but this is not happening with electronics panel. Although it should according to this logic

I looked into that, the electronics panel's top part has less components and therefore less mass and can't push the grid as easily.

If you stack enough blocks on its top part to increase their mass then it will eventually do the same thing, apply torque from trying to repel eachother.

I've also noticed something else, stacking batteries didn't cause it but as soon as I placed an armor block on the electronics panel (I disabled the limits for testing) near the edge it started to jiggle about.
I dunno, game's weird :P
