@Egosoft I'd really like to be able to rotate station modules while still glued to the mouse pointer

Post by Cyron43 »

It's a pita especially with large modules like piers. I have to extend the build space (and pay for it) just because they are heading in the wrong direction and I have to attach them somewhere (or at least place them amidst an open but otherwise unused space) before I can rotate them.

left click longer, you can put it in red then rotate move as needed
Fixed ships getting spawned away from ship configuration menu at resupply ships from automatically getting deployables.

I would still advocate for a rotate hotkey which also works when the module is attached to the mouse cursor.

Haha, this is somehow less know feature. I first learned about it like several months after release :)

this needs to be a tip somewhere for sure, I think I didn't know about it until 4 months ago

I‘d like to be able to move the module only on one axis. Right now you can only drag and drop which makes it impossible to just move the module along one axis. Something like the advanced move in PlanetCoaster if someone knows that.

Or am I missing something?
