Most issues are resolved by carefully re-reading the installation instructions or stickies at the top of the Posts tab, but if you have stumbled on a bug, please file a bug report on the Bugs tab with as much information as possible to help me find the cause of the issue and get it squashed in an update.
I'm a dev, how do I make my mod compatible?
By default, most items added to the game by other mods should work just fine with SnapBuilder assuming they also work fine in-game. For the edge cases where they do not and SnapBuilder does not understand which way to rotate your items by default, it is easy to make your items compatible without a dependency on SnapBuilder.
On your prefab's model , simply add a child GameObject named SnapBuilder. Whatever you set the localRotation and localPosition of this GameObject to, SnapBuilder will treat these as the default transformations for the item.
The named SnapBuilder must be the direct child of the GameObject located at Builder.ghostModel when the user is interacting with the Habitat Builder.

For example:
public override GameObject GetGameObject()
{
GameObject prefab = ... // code to load your prefab goes here
// Get model
GameObject model = prefab.FindChild("MY_MODEL'S_TRANSFORM");
// help snapbuilder understand the model
var snapBuilder = new GameObject("SnapBuilder");
snapBuilder.transform.SetParent(model.transform, false);
snapBuilder.transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(-90, -90, 0);
// do other stuff...
