Not gonna say it’s not annoying, but you gotta just play with it a little bit and memorize the key points that you can latch onto. It is consistent where you can connect and where you can’t. The reason why you can’t connect to some points is the same reason why you can’t connect to the ground.
For example, on volskaya that node in the middle of point B you CAN attach to the vertical cylinder sides, the 3 prongs, and the small ring on the inside of the top, but you CAN’T attach to the slanted area on the top or the flat part on top.
Memorizing things you intend to attach to often like this helps a lot in terms of consistency.
Edit:
For Numbani Payload:
Can
Storage chamber(old doomfist location)
Grills blades from the back
Sideways tear drop things on the sides
Lower half of the back center part
Almost everything under that flat gray platform
Can’t
The gray platform
The grill blades from the front
Top half of the back
The two “lights” at the bottom of the front
From what I can tell this is consistent prior to capping it and after,
