[Suggestion] Rotating Buildings


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Something I would really love to see in the game, is the ability to rotate any non-single tile building. Reasons:

  • Aesthetically pleasing - if you have a specific look in mind
  • Better pipe management

I often find myself wishing the input/output ports on buildings were on the opposite end in order to create an optimal/efficient piping network. You're already doing this for a few buildings and that's great - but it would be that much better if we could do it with all of them :) Please?

Buildings that we are already able to rotate:

  • Carbon Skimmer
  • Water Sieve
  • Lavatory
  • Filters/Shutoffs/Valves
  • Mini Pumps
  • Logic Gates

I may have missed some, but I am at work and unable to check the game right now.

Thanks for a great game, I absolutely love how this game inspires so much creative thought - keep up the great work!

P.S. Having an automation port on reservoirs would also be great ;)

If you want a more complete list, you can also rotate aquatuners and thermo regulators.  As well as bridges, but those aren't really buildings in the same sense. 

I believe that all buildings with asymmetric functionality should be rotatable.  I actually think all buildings with asymmetric art should also be rotatable so we can do a real Symmetric Base Challenge.

An odd example would be beds.  If beds were rotatable, you could have your dupe sleep at a slightly different place, which could be better for decor.

Liquid and gas reservoirs too, this is really needed
