Make factories rotatable?

[noobymcnoobcake]

Would it be possible to make factories rotatable? From what I have seen in the blueprint file it must be, we just need to add stuff in the UI to allow this. This would be a nice feature for people playing in some positions, and will make sure the units rolloff faster and get to the place then need to be faster. Perhaps use Q and E to rotate them once you got the factory blueprint over where it needs to be. Would anyone else like this? I can especially see its use with naval factories.

Has anybody ever made a mod do this?

well there is GAZ UI with the template rotator but I dont think there is a mod that allows you to rotate factories and quantum gates

but I recall that someone once said it would be possible, as it even was in the game in early alpha or beta state (yet I was in beta and dont think it was back then).

Im fairly sure it is. You could make the factories spawn in a set rotation easy by adjusting one line of code in the BP file. But its just being able to adjust that in game. Im fairly sure you could get a UI mod to do that for you.

Then you would need custom unit roll off points also to every direction or else units would come from factory very wierdly.

i have missed this feature too. maps like setons are 100% symmetrical. but i think that all top players have a slight advantage over the bottom players because the factories (especially the naval factory) cannot be rotated.

especially the bottom beach spot in setons would profit from rotatable naval factories. the way it is right now all engineers are more vulnerable and the ships may be blocked by the engineers more often compared to the beach spot at the top of the map.

therefore i would appreciate this feature too!
