I'm just asking if whoever was accepted in the modder application thread (I tried but having no modding skills, and being honest about it, did not get me approved) would create a small mod for me. This mod would simply be a green arrow (about 75% translucent) of what side the factories would output from. (May just be me) but it gets a little aggravating trying to place down a bot factory or etc and trying to find out which side the units will pop out of. Having a simple small green arrow that appears from the output side would definitely help out. Again this is just an idea and if anyone has done this, introduced the idea, is working on this, or has tips for me to make it easier to tell what side the output is would be wonderful. Have a wonderful day <3 P.s. If you want to play PA with me add me on steam same username as here.
Cool idea. I doubt it's possible to do at the moment, as it requires information from the simulation side of the game. Wait until closer to release.
When you build the factory, click and hold down and you can rotate it whichever direction. The direction your mouse arrow faces, and the opposite side, are the sides units will not come out of. They will spawn left or right of it At this point you should be using waypoints to get them to exit wherever you want them to end up, having them spawn from the factory and just sit there is not useful. Picture sort of explaining what I meant Edit: Also I am fairly certain they exit from the right if they do not have a waypoint. So if you click and drag up, they come out the right side unless given a waypoint that makes them go left
Thanks this helps a lot! I would love it if they made whichever way your mouse was facing the output.
Some visual help when building factories would be very useful so you at least don't build it 90 degrees wrong. Some factories can be very tricky to see the ramps on in the white frame layout. The rotate trick works ok but it's still quicker to just show it somehow with visual aid. Showing which one of the two ramps will be used however, is more up to you to give a waypoint. I didn't do this enough to begin with, but now I always set a waypoint somewhere since the factory generally gets clogged at the output otherwise.
