Allow the edge of map to be positioned in the center of the screen


Recommended Posts

Currently the edge of the map is fixed at the edge of the screen. Allow the edge of the map to move to the center of the screen. This is an easy fix that would greatly improve the QoL of those who routinely build near the edge of the map and have to deal either with alerts/build menus or the resource list getting in the way.

Nitroturtle explained it well in a post on another topic.

If the camera movement allowed you to scroll past the edges of the map a bit, it would be a lot easier to work near the edge of the map without the UI covering your building area, regardless of the size of the selection windows.  I always hate working near the edge because of this issue, since you have to zoom all the way in to be able to see anything.  The right side of the map is especially annoying since the material list takes up nearly the whole right side of the screen.  I can't be the only one with this issue.

Thanks for a great game Klei.

Can they not do that anymore in space?

It works in space but i`d love if the map was generated that way so there is no neutronium on the sides and you can dig from one side to the other.

Btw i think they did something with the pathing in space not to calculate the looping to improve performance.

Agree. I always build a wall there because of this 

Well this feature is available as part of various mods for almost 2 years now, first as @Moonkis's OnionPatcher (its now very outdated).

But you can use now the mod FreeCamera from my modpack, which was made in response to @Nitroturtle's mod request:
