Where is X/Y-axis rotation?

[remid0d0s0]

Where did the X/Y axis rotation of certain parts go in this "base building" expansion? How am I supposed to build anything sideways or tilted or upside-down now?

Where did the scaling of a variety of parts go in this "base building" expansion?

Where is the promised no-snap "build even in the air" in this "base building" expansion?

yea the rotation on Y does not seem to be there...at least I haven't found it and it I moved an installed part the rotation no longer applies to the object itself, but the object rotates around some other invisible object instead of the part turning,

scaling is still there, but I can only access it with mouse and keyboard, which sucks becuae i like using the controller, but no controls to do that with the controller anymore right now it seems.

no snap is there. again, seems only there with mouse and keyboard. it's a toggle. I think you have to hit v or something...

Try This, it worked for me. Using a DS4 controller

here's what I did:

run steam

unplug controller

go to Steam Big Picture mode

click on settings cog

click on controller setting

un-tick all controllers in list

turn off steam and PC

restart PC

open steam

plug in controller.

Good luck.

no-snap builds in the same "stuck to the ground/object" locations as with snapping turned on. It just doesn't snap things where they would ordinarily snap, and removes (some?) collision constraints.

PS I don't think everyone knows what I mean.

The only rotation you can perform in the game (on PC at least) is parts about the Z axis (the vertical axis pointing into the sky). However you can not rotate them about X/Y axes. You can no longer have parts sideways or upside down.

There are no controls available in remap to do this in any building mode. Therefore I think that the capability no longer exists.

IN A "BASE BUILDING" EXPANSION.

And, again, from https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/, THIS is an outright lie:

The basebuilding toolset has been expanded with several advanced controls. Free placement mode disables all forms of snapping, and allows parts to be placed inside other parts. This advanced mode allows builders to place parts wherever they choose – even in mid-air!

You cannot place a part directly in mid-air. There is literally no control that allows you to translate parts X-Y-Z. Without that, they appear on surfaces as usual and there is no "new" place you can place a part.

Additionally, there is no new freedom in placement of parts *on* surfaces. For example, on a very steep hillside, floor parts will be green in some places, red in others. If you could place parts anywhere you want, you'd be able to place them ... anywhere you want.

This stuff is all still supported in save files.

Also: Weren't most glitches resizable before? I'm not sure but I think so?

And also also: You can now indeed build more glitches than you have, as the glitch you're building will continue to repeat even after you're out of glitches in your inventory. I don't know if this is a mistake, but if so, why not just have picking up a glitch learn the pattern, so that you don't need to have glitches in your inventory any more, ever.

yeah, not sure what's going on there..I can place things in the air ...just put a door in the air above my base

I think HG should give us back the old building menue an the old building procedure.
Even if there are lots of new parts. The old ones (or ne ones) could be places in a sub menue (with other sub menues).
They just would have to have a look at Eucli-ea mod to see, that it works.
The old building system had a very much easier flow, f.e. colouring objects. Now I have to select every single part again to give it a color, instead of just click on them.
And there are many other annoying changes that reduces building abilities.

Well the only thing that works a bit easier is the wire glitching (old fashion way).
