Can't rotate objects

[THFW]

I have tried everything to rotate an object in building mode, tried Y with an xbox controller, tried R with the keyboard, it doesn't change a thing. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Thanks!

Seems to be a bug, cos it is not working for me either.

Thanks that's what I thought, I searched everywhere, some say to just tap the Y/R button but it's not working for me.

Yep, things don't work for me either, Goooooo Updates! This turkey didn't have much going for it at the start and now the simple commands don't work. They should pack it in. Give up, pull the plug.

I honestly don't know what some people are doing wrong. I was just building up my base earlier and rotating corridor pieces all day long. I'm either extremely lucky in not encountering half the bugs people are reporting or some people are just extremely unlucky.

same i can't rotate any of the building parts, you would think when they tested the game someone should have tested the rotate features but apparently not......of course this is a beta from what ihave read.

They might not be able to hire beta testers, so they dump the patch on us and watch the comments storm in about various problems. Crowdsourcing!

Is this a bug from 1.33? I never encountered anything of the sort in the present version.

It was a bug in my head. You need to press R twice to rotate it 45 degrees. I kept doing single presses

What are you trying to rotate? I have not had any trouble with rotating objects for buliding

Its a bit late but for the records: you cannot rotate objects all the time, there are conditions. It has to be at a fitting end, f.e. when you fit a angled corridor to a round base-room it becomes green and now you can choose to rotate or to build it.
There is a small green icon appearing, when you now press R you can rotate it. Just holding something into the air lets it being red and you can do nothing with it. Good luck !

It seems that the roate button has to be spamed sometimes even when its a legeal rotate. It can seem like a bug but no. I see it as a function of how fast your computer responds to commands. If your base is large and your are laging out then roating is almost imposable. If your rig is fast and your base is small then the roate button responds fast on the first click.
