Starmade | Girder and shipyard block rotations
Confirmed task for development, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not, but the girder blocks currently have 6 rotations. And that doesn't allow for the top side to be on all possible sides or directions. The similar shipyard block has 24 positions when rotating it around. It seems like their rotations should be similar, but they're not.

Also, when the top face of the shipyard block is facing up, it can't be made to line up with itself when traveling in the direction of the red symmetry plane. I've never had a need to do this... but just happened to notice it after messing with the girder block.

I feel kind of confused now. I just wanna decorate with girder blocks.

I feel like if you use the shipyard modules in a downward facing "C" shape, then you're fine. And that would be the most common shipyard shape, but stray from the path just a little and you're blocks might not align. The alignment I mentioned earlier could be used in a side "C" shaped shipyard, where it opens to the side. I wonder if they've always been like this?... I guess I usually make traditional shipyards.

Also, I thought girders were new, but apparently people are already using them.

Girders have been in a build before yes.
