flip thruster horizontally

[Stargateur]

Like chemical plan and oil refinery but only horizontally.

I think the whole point is to make building space platforms more challenging, hence the assymetrical placement of the fluid inputs, and the fact they are bidirectional.

Not happening. Build "V" thrusters or sushi, if you want boring straight engine

I was curious, and I looked at the prototype data https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/b ... s.lua#L791 but I can't work out why it doesn't let you flip it.
I don't want to cheat so I can't be bothered trying to work it out myself, but I am curious.

If you really want thrusters to be easier, you can use this mod that makes them symmetrical https://mods.factorio.com/mod/symmetric-thruster

There's also a mod that has pre-flipped variants of the thruster https://mods.factorio.com/mod/maft

And one that adds an extra pair of inputs https://mods.factorio.com/mod/simplified-thrusters

But I can't find one that just lets you flip the vanilla one.
