The gauge once placed, drops the regular one when I attempt to break it.
Before I remove it:

After I break the gauge, and replace it:

This is something that confuses me, as it seems, the item id changes from 2528:1 (extended gauges) to 2528 (regular gauges).
It also seems to happen when a world is closed and reopened. (i.e singleplayer world closed, server world restarted)
Has anyone seen this happen? Pls help. As I have to re-craft this item just to make it again.
