I've had another problem pointed out to me through one of my mods.
However upon trying to fix it, I've noticed it's affected by any mod that adds an object. I have no idea why this is happening.
Mods that adds Sprites cause some sprites in the game to become altered(Power Station on storage Shelf)
Apparently affects sprites like alerts too, which is harder for me to replicate and test.

The first image shows the error with the Power Station on the shelf.
The second shows it, how it should be with no mods.
The third and fifth shows it breaking with different mods that add an object.
and the fourth shows the sprite error not occurring with a mod that doesn't add an object only changes Canteen Room Properties

The Kickstand Patch changed sprites some as it introduced the ability to add more uniform choices. Due to this any mod that hasn't been updated since then likely has sprite issues. I suggest contacting the mod makers directly.
 
I am one of the mod makers. I am aware of the changes to how sprites are handled. But modded Objects are separated from the base games files. Unlike say a texture mod that edits the tileset file, which modders have to update along with the games updates.

Modded objects use their own sprite.png file and shouldn't have any affect on the base games sprites. Not even the accompanying materials.txt with these modded objects makes any reference to other sprite sheets or objects other than that of the object it is adding.

This is why I am finding it hard to "update" my mods to stop this sprite error occuring. As I do not make reference to the base games files, only for example a door I add. There's no reference to the Power Station and it's rendering on a shelf.

If there is something that you know, that has changed with modded objects and, how older mods need to be changed please enlighten me
