 You need to add the dock types to the map and edit the bounding boxes via varediting the dock, you need to varedit height, width, dheight and dwidth at minimum. These are offset by the dir so do keep that in mind, eg if dir == 2 then width goes from EAST to WEST, if dir == 4 then width goes from NORTH to SOUTH and dwidth/dheight are offsets from the lower-left corner of the plane switched to the dock's dir
-'''Warning the bounding boxes for all docks must be the same size, otherwise the shuttle may not move correctly'''
+You should also ensure the directions face the shuttle or face away from the thing the shuttle docks with.
-The new shuttle controller will also only move shuttle tiles so make sure to create shuttle plating under the engine and turn all existing plating to shuttle plating
+If a shuttle's mobile docking port direction is different then the stationary docking port's direction, the shuttle and all items on it will be rotated accordingly. (Try it, it works properly for just about everything)
+'''Warning the bounding box for the mobile dock must fit inside of the stationary dock (after any rotation)''' Or the shuttle will refuse to move.
+If the shuttle's mobile docking port is in an area that is a subtype of /area/shuttle, Only turfs in the bounding box in that same area are moved. Otherwise it moves all turfs in the bounding box. This can be used for odd shaped shuttles. (the area will be transfer over as well)
 Also note that the emergency shuttle and cargo shuttle need special subtypes of the dock type eg so /obj/docking_port/mobile/emergency
