Station Rotation axis

[Reaperxvii]

How does the game determine how a station is rotated upon starting the construction script? As it seems to be based upon what angle the CV comes in from, though I could be wrong.

Is there a way to rotate a station after its built through editing the save files or another file?

rotation is defined by the Buildspot afaik, CV just adjusts its position to it

i am sure it can be readjusted in the savegame, look for entries similiar to this:

Code: Select all

				<offset>
					<position x="1250.921" y="-123.8594" z="-6118.713"/>
					<quaternion qx="1.152023E-07" qy="0.7071068" qz="1.152023E-07" qw="-0.7071067"/>
				</offset>

note that instead of the complicated quaternion a <rotation yaw="0" pitch="0" roll="0"/> can also be used (values are degrees here)
