Can we please get rotation put on trapdoors?

[Carnage]

I swear, I don't think I've ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥ a metal trapdoor to face the way I want when building a base, the wood and stone are less horrid, but still annoying, The metal ones seem to ALWAYS face a direction determined by what it's snapping to and the surrounding walls, and 90% of the time it's the wrong way.

eg: As in the image, the trapdoor hatch will open to the right... meaning the ladder needs to go on the left, which makes the hatch not only in the way, but the ladder requiring activation from the side of the rocks below... which is not possible, and the reason I'm having to remake this entrance (the rocks in the south-central inlet where moved a little in the patch and our ladder was not accessible). No matter what way I face I can't rotate the trapdoor, sometimes you can, but not in the screenshot.

Please, can we get a rotation on trap doors soon, I find it more annoying than the walls as the direction affects function of the item, walls where just an aesthetic issue... this one is an often irritating function issue.

Thumbs. Up. So hard.

I was dealing with this the other day and was so frustrated.

Re-did the actual frame 3 times before I gave up and put my ladder in a crappy looking position just to comprimise.

I hear ya, its ridiculous, such a important thing, ladders, doors, etc.
Im most of times now stuck between door and ladders.
Need to close the door (animation goes trough my character) then im free to move.
Never can let a door open, bec its in wrong position and it will block pathways.

Still not fixed. Wasted tons of materials to get trapdoor in. Still wont work, now left with open hole...
They wasted hours on SC...

But there is DLC to buy, they have their priorities right TBH.

there should be a rotate option on everything - i mean why not? how can it be exploited?

also a pick up item for anything that could logically be picked up and moved rather than demolished.

Also how about a wall building system like they have in "the forest" - soooo much easier.

I can't say I have had any issue with slopped roofs at all... you just move around a little and they change direction.

I've noticed they outright refuse to snap correctly to ceilings (being used as floors). They snap to the wrong side no matter what you try to do.

use the angled walls to set up the angle you want them...helps a ton (usually use thatch ceilings and walls to line them up if using them as ramps)

I t was also important when I posted this thread a year ago... Making a better building system in a game where a core mechanic is building is not a priority...

adobe hatchframe is even worse
you can attache a ladder to one side only
