Blueprints with a rocket silo can only be turned by 180°

Post by meet666 »

Title.
I'm not sure if this is intentional, since the silo itself can't be turned.
Just discovered that as I tried to rotate a blueprint with a silo in it

Hope that helps.

Hello. Of course it is intentional, how would it turn 90° if some entity in it can't be turned 90°?

Maybe its still possible to let the blueprint be turned by 90° and ignore the rotation of the silo?

No, that would just allow people to place broken setup. https://imgur.com/a/ajIK1
If you really need to rotate it, copy the blueprint and edit the silo out.

EDIT: It may not be obvious, but rocket silo has rectangular base, not square ... square entites that don't have rotations (ie. electric furnace) can still be rotated in blueprint.

Makes me wonder... why did you guys make that thing rectangular without providing a 90° sprite in the first place?

If not rotatable I would at least have given it a square base then so that everything else in the blueprint can be rotated around it. :lol:

It is like you guys put an arrow to your own knee with that one where you had to implement a weird edge case just for the rocket silo.
