[Poll] Do you ever turn your camera in-game?

[dinosaur1831]

I generally always keep the camera oriented in the same direction unless I need to see behind an object (usually for hunting Koalefants). I just get used to the layout of the world in a particular orientation (though I may change the default orientation when I start a world).

Often the case is that my base is decorated in such a way that from other camera viewpoints, things aren't as clearly visible. In particular, with mini signs, the location I place them next to my chests often means they're not as visible from directions other than from the default one. I also like to use walls as decoration, which can block the view from different camera orientations.

I sometimes may reorient the camera if I know I'm moving into an area where I know there is some kind of potential threat that I want more advanced warning about. A good example of this is MacTusk. I like to be able to see them at the top of the screen with a little bit of warning time so I can plan accordingly.

It’s safer when you go hunting koalefant.

I rotate my camera once to the left and I leave it like that and sometimes rotate it to look at things better but then I turn it back

"The enemies gate is always down." I think the field of view is the best at the top of the screen, so I prefer that to be the direction I move, or the obstacle I'm facing. 

However, I have a standard world orientation that feels correct to me, and it stays like that whenever I'm just running around my base, or trying to orient myself.

I keep standard orientation much more in certain parts underground, so I don't accident take a wrong deadend turn with shadow splemonkeys on my tail.

Y’all know there’s a compass mod right?

I turn my camera almost every other second because I always had a habit of facing the direction in going. It also makes the world more dynamic, and gives me a better feel of the environment. Other than those excuses, I can say that it's a habit that I have picked up in my very early days of playing this game, and I have no intention to rid myself of it 3 years later.

If any of you don't turn the camera because you want to know which way is north there's a helpful mod called reset camera that lets you hit C and reset the camera. It's super helpful when needing to give players directions.
