Rotating stairs and roofs

[Kulpas]

Why doesn't this game have corner and upside-down roofs? That would be really helpful.

You CAN rotate stairs and roofs. Type "R" while pointing/looking at the blocks and "grabbing" the blocks with your left mouse-button, then drag them to rotate. You can also lock down a certain rotation, so all the blocks you will place will all look into the same direction.

Not all roofs have full rotations, at this point in time, as well. Corners are something many people have been requesting and may eventually get here. As to why these things, this game is still Early Access and coding programs correctly takes time.

Someone should make a list of all the roofs and stairs that do not have full rotation. Because I don't know of any. But if there are, they should be fixed - and for that, the devs have to be informed properly.

What exactly do you mean by "corners" if you don't mean rotated roofs?

I ran into an issue with red adobe roofs not being able to be placed in a position that I could with wood roofs. That's what I'm basing my heads up on. I'll see if I can get some more info at some point.

And corners are corners. Being able to smoothly wrap roofs or stairs around a 90 degree bend, either in an autolink like MC or as separate pieces.

Edit: Hmm...okay. Not sure what I did wrong when I was wanting to build with red adobe rotated and couldn't get it. I'm normally very methodical about rotation. Anyway, while there are some blocks that do not have full rotation, I can't confirm or deny that any of them are stair or roof blocks. Wood, Lumite, and Red Adobe roofs I can confirm have all 24 positions of rotation available to them, although the textures on Lumite are identical on the back and bottom faces, so either of those sides placed front will have no cosmetic difference. I used the copy paste functionality of the rotation feature for testing which sometimes allows you to place a block in a rotation that you might not be able to manually rotate it to.

Okay the rotation thing actually helped me out so thanks. Still corner stairs/roofs would be really nice.
