How to rotate?

[Ikit Claw]

I've never played dwarf fortress before so idk if this is intended or not.
I would like to rotate a room or my beds but there's no option for it, it's really annoying having to build my rooms at certain angles for it to look clean.

for the most part there's no concept of facing or rotation here.

Damn, my workshop has a chair in the doorway and I know it doesn't affect pathing or anything but it's an eye sore for me. The games fun though so I'll deal with it.

Oh, workshops can actually effect pathing actually. Used to be clearer which tiles they blocked. Now it's basically, whichever square has a large table is the blocker.

But yeah no rotate, haha ;-;

I've watched my dwarves climb over the table in the steam version, so this seems to be the case, yes.

You'll get used to spacing your workshops out more so they're less in the way and look better.

I don't think that they block critters anymore. Had a magma crab crawl up and incinerate a dwarf.

Hope they'll add the rotation feature soon...

considering there's no gameplay concept of facing for the objects in question, and how it would multiply art needs substantially while there's still a lot of things that don't have adequate art, it seems unlikely.

Dig a path below where you want to place your forges, place a grate on the side the magma will come in, then channel the final tile from above to let the magma in. That will give you safe access for your forges.
