How do you flip walls?
I'm placing a wall around my base, they were all facing outwards like I wanted but then started to face inwards. How do I flip the walls when I place them to stop this from happening?

I think it depends on which side you place them, try moving around, and you can tell which way its facing cause the outside looks more green and the inside looks more transperent.

Yeah, I've tried that but placing the fence foundation and wall from different angles is still causing it to face the wrong way.

for the moment its important from wich side you place the fences. in clockcycle the walls face one direction again the clockcycle they face in the other direction. pretty anoying if you start a long wall an then realising you start in the wrong corner...

i'm still struggling with the placement of walls...ie the wrong way around for eg on a behemoth gateway one side will place facing one way...ie rocks outwards and the other side will place inwards ie inner frame showing outwards....

wondering is there a fix or could the devs code in a turn command to place 180 degrees to let us place the other way or does someone have a work around to sort this out.....

just a quick thank you to the devs...keep up the good work, all the guys playing on our server absolutely love the game and are addicted ...cheers for something different and something that keeps surprising us!

Some sort of universal tool to enter a flip/rotate dialogue would be nice

You can flip walls by pressing E while you see the preveiw of it.

Thanks, I knew there must be a simple way.

well yes and no. It flips, but no longer connects to your wall correctly.

Not sure why you are telling me I am just another player. E flips it, it's not my fault it does not line up. Go post a bug report in the bug report section. Dude asked how you flip the wall not how do you make perfact finish work in an alpha game.

Because, while you were quick to blert out "press E", it is definitely not the answer everyone is looking for.

It kinda is. Flipping the wall with E is relatively new. And I don't think its widely known that it only visually flips the wall around and that the fence foundation orientation still dictates whether the wall physically sets on the inside or outside edge of the fence foundation.

Instread of being an a hole about it go put it in the bug section and maybe the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ people devolping the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game can fix it and if you cant deal with bugs wait until full release.

that's not a bug. if you have two foundation, you can build almost 4 different walls. on the first foundation: a wall with the beautiful side inwards or outwards. And the same on the second foundation. So if you have built a wall on the front Foundation, and make a wall next to the rear foundation, you get the gaps.
