objects angle

[Philz]

HI, i don't know where to suggest this but it would be nice to put any foundations or structural components in any angle we want when we attach them (just like the conveyors belts) instead of being forced to start something straight or in a 90 degre angle.

Thanks :)

currently you can attach foundations at a 45 degree angle but you will have overlapping parts if you wan to avoid gaps. There is also triangle shaped foundations unlocked with coupons.

There is also a mod that lets you rotation and attach foundations at 5 degree intervals or something similar. but you still get z fighting issues if you have things overlapping each other.

now if you dont need things to actually connect then you can simple start a new foundation on the ground and turn it in any direction you like to get a new angle to build on.

What you arr asking for to be implemented properly in the game would likely require a near infinite number of triangle shaped pieces at every conceivable number of degrees a person might want. or maybe like a 5 degree wedge you can use over and over again to get the proper curve to the new angle or something.

Come to think of it the later idea I just came up with seems plausible and very useful. Just adding a single 5 degree wedge that can be snapped to existing foundations would open up a whole lot of new and exciting possibilities without the whole z fighting bug.

Oh right i forgot about the awesome shop Thanks, but yeah i too think your idea of a 5 degree wedge would be very useful

You can also use the left control key to rotate foundations in 2 deg increments. Start by setting one foundation, Next, start a foundation on top and while holding down the left control key use the mouse wheel to rotate the foundation either cw or ccw. When in the right position make the final left-click to create.

The game already comes with some features to rotate objects but I really like to use the "Micro Mange" mod to move parts or even whole factories.
I often use it to correct building sins or just to build more creatively.

700 hours in this game and I still learning things. "ctrl key allows 2 degree rotation"....alright stored in my brain for future use.
thanks
