... reach, so I don't have to hear "Duduh!!!" and then try again all the time. And it's frustrating to use the same key for rotating counterclockwise as ghost building, which makes it really confusing when I want to do clockwise rotations while ghost building since I have to lift ...

There is a mod, that does exactly do that...


BTW: I use that a while now and I need to say: I use it less often than I thought. What many forget: Shift-R is two keypresses. Rotating counterclockwise is three. But on the same key.

To rotate anything that requires rotating, like blueprints and inserters, counterclockwise. In a situation where an assembler is requesting items from an inserter that's drawing various items from a chest, and the recipe from the assembler is changed, the inserter ...

I have a mouse with scroll wheel i can push left and right.
I am wishing I could use it to rotate objects on the right and left

yes, I searched for anti-clockwise and it returned no results. I then looked at one of my other games for the feature and it said "rotate counterclockwise", so I actually changed my post to read that.

Hm. A simple search before posting would help: search.php?keywords=counterclockwise&fid%5B0%5D=6

Sure wheelup. Did you ever scroll up on this page? Greetings steinio I think by "wheel down" he means pushing the scroll wheel down, since using the scroll wheel is for zooming. I might be wrong though. Using "wheelup" and wheeldown" is a commen keybinding to rotate in a lo...

I agree, people that want to put rotate on the mouse wheels are currently fucked, because there is no counterpart for wheeldown

A key binding for rotating counterclockwise as well as the current clockwise rotation would help many people build easier.

... it switches to a curved rail as starting segment instead of a straight one and with your mouse guidance then decide if it becomes a clockwise/counterclockwise curve? Would avoid having to click 1-2 rail tiles before the curve is supposed to start and removing the straight/diagonal tiles in ...

Thanks!

Any word on Shift+R to rotate things counterclockwise?

... It would make it a lot easier to quickly place curves or rings. Bonus request: Shift+R should rotate pieces counterclockwise (not only rails but all items on the game).

... an 90° angle. There might be a hotkey or small GUI to switch the inserter's mode between "opposed", "90° clockwise", "90° counterclockwise" and "bidirectional". With the rotation key you can determine the source and destination direction then: opposed: north ...

Currently, the curved track uses this pattern. Building a circle clockwise takes 5 rotations per track, building counterclockwise takes 3. http://i.imgur.com/0it8ZzS.jpg If the pattern were switched to this, building clockwise would only be 1 rotation per track. http://i.imgur.com/RCiXg78.jpg ...

... 90 degrees to the left or right, but that would require 3 new inserters for each of the existing ones- a 'straight' one, a 'clockwise' one and a 'counterclockwise' one, which is a bit messy. My second thought was, like rotating, be able to toggle through those 3 different orientations when placing ...

For example, having a different button close to R like T or F rotate the item counterclockwise. I find myself tapping RRR, RRR, RRR, RRR quite often and it seems like something that could be improved relatively easily. Another suggestion: by holding down Rotate, ...

... can find the next place of food for an ant. This algorithm hasn't to be random, it just searches the nearest trees and then takes the first counterclockwise. The ant will run to it, collect it and bring it back. With thousands of such operations, they build a circle of cleared forest around ...

... it's already not deterministic. If they go in a spiral, they need a direction too (it's safe to make entire species/clan/whatever go clockwise or counterclockwise, though) and it would look weird, mechanical. Picking nearest vertices from results of a breadth-first pathfinding algorithm (A* is ...
