Diagonal foundation

[DaffyPwnz]

Anyone know if there is a diagonal (half foundation) foundation that slots nicely in an L shaped section of foundation? I have S+ but that has some stupid triangle piece thats only about 2 thirds big enough and leaves a pointless gap.

Cheers for any help.

this vid by GGFizz was a great help for me, allows todo similar things with vanilla options, stumbled across after being frustrated by S+ triangles aswell:

There is not, and the reason is the walls wouldn't fit on it. You can achieve the effect you want using the S+ triangle foundations, or something similar to it, but it takes using the triangles in place of the squares for whole rows, not just the one piece you're trying to place.

Yea righto.... so odd that this game has such bad building mechanics...

Eco stable and CKF both have right triangle pieces.

S+ only has the equalateral triangle pieces.

AFAIK equilateral triangles are what you generally find in other survival building games (Rust, Conan Exiles for example).

Does that mean that Eco Stable and CKF have every type of wall in 1,414 long version too ?

EDIT : Found another interesting thread explaining why right triangles are not used : https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/731604991/1470841715956799379/

Right triangles are 45,45, 90 degrees. Equalateral triangles are all 60 and the wall lengths are the same as the square foundations.

For the mods with right triangle you have left and right pieces and diagonal walls (longer because it's the hypotenuse of the right triangle).

This is what the OP asked for and it does exist.

[Elgar]

I know what right and equilateral triangles are, it's basic geometry. ;)

I wasn't arguing, I was just pointing out why equilateral triangles are commonly used instead of right triangles. This question comes up regularly in S+ discussions. People usually don't realize that right triangles need longer walls too for the hypotenuse side. They also often don't realize that you can already create almost every shape of base with equilateral triangles.

But it's nice that Eco Stable and CKF have these longer walls. Great mods indeed.

not when you understand that a diagonal piece is longer then an edge piece... while the triangle s+ parts are the same length on all 3 sides as an edge/wall/foundation.

Thanks for all your replies guys/girls, i really appreciate it.... Wife and i decided it was easier to just foundation the entire area....which i know doesnt make a lot of sense in relation to my question, but we are building in the crater with the small lake just near carno island but on the main land and wanted to build a 2 foundation walkway around that lake then construct all around it from the edge of that walkway, was hoping to smooth out the edges using right angle triangles, but alas, it seems it was easier to use about 250 foundations and simply level the area and leave a large square swimming pool like section open in the middle which will be the centerpeice of our humble base :))

Cheers again for all your responses.

I will definitely check out these mods for future games. Thank you :)

Fixed !

Also Mr. Daffy can I come over on Saturday and swim in your pool?
