Additional to doorway variation. This could also work with vertical shaft. By having the same shaft menu but allow toggle horizontal/vertical as variation. https://timberborn.featureupvote.com/suggestions/215369/

Smaller buildings better have only one doorway, but with the freedom to choose which tile the doorway is connected to. Larger buildings and/or buildings with no visible separation (e.g. shrine) can have multiple doorways, as well as taller buildings (e.g. triple lodge - doorways on different height levels).

In addition, it's pretty strange that the lodge and mirrored lodge have a different line in the sumup of how many housing is available. I'd really think they could just be merged.

Quite keen on this feature request; restraints aren't inherently bad but not being able to mirror the building at least feels like quite an artificial one. And it is always a bit frustrating when a mirrored version would fit perfectly but the one offered makes everything look a mess.

Additionally. District Gate should have 2 versions. straigth and corner

If there would be corner stair then it might also use this same toggle key

I want mirrored versions of every building, but want it to just be a hotkey. Like hit F when building a building to flip it to it's mirrored version.

EdesRozsa

flipping with F would be fantastic, and not just on lodges. The one I found myself wanting it the most was actually the large water tank, though farmhouses were also high on my list.

Also agree that making lodge and mirrored lodge one choice, with the addition of a "flip building" hotkey, would be ideal.

It would be handy to make buildings and doorways separate objects, so that buildings can be used in new configurations (e.g. ground floor entrance to double lodge; large warehouse with second-floor entrance) and certain objects (e.g. mirror lodge) could be removed entirely.

Rather than having a mirrored house option, which is a bit meh, how about when you press rotate it swaps to mirrored version on press 1 then rotates to normal version on press 2 then press 3 mirrored on that angle the press again rotates to normal. so 8 presses will rotate 360 degrees and present both mirrored and normal :)

It would be awesome to allow you to specify where in the building is the entrance (or create multiple entrances into buildings for that matter) E.G. With the Wood Storage allowing a user to click the path into 1 of it's squares would create a path entrance there to the Wood Storage. Also, if you have 4 path squares adjacent to each other (2x2) it really should fill in middle.

I wish there was a down-vote option on this site.
I feel that making buildings too adjustable and easily place-able would take away from the clunky Roller Coaster Tycoon feel that the game currently has. Just because other games like City Skylines are soft with bendable roads and hand-hold-y soft building placement, does not mean that every game should adhere to this development of game design. Please allow us to get frustrated that the building is turned the wrong way around and figure out a solution on our own, even if it takes hours!

There is a mod that does this, but for me its broken (Using experimental version of the game). I would certainly like this in base game but without mirror copies of every building (Like that one hut). I'd prefer if buildings just had a button to toggle the mirror versions or door location. Even on buildings with multiple cells on one side so you can toggle the door to left, center, or right, during placement.

With the fact that the mirrored mod works quite well, I think its pretty likely the devs would be able to integrate this into base game easily. However I just want to state that I hope they don't do it with -every- building, as with some buildings, there's just no reason to mirror. AKA, anything already symmetrical such as platforms or power shafts.

But lets not forget that some buildings, while they have an entrance in the middle (paper mill), have a model that can be flipped which would still be nice to have. It might also be nice to be able to choose the door location on such buildings, maybe some kind of toggle for placing the door in a different spot on the building if thats possible? Probably not, I'm sure the door is integrated into the model file. It would take redoing the model and then adding a door only model then placing two models for each building which may increase system requirements. However, its just a thought I wanted to throw out there. Attached example though.

06 Oct, '22

Pretty please? It would be so nice to see this implemented globally, with a hotkey as others said but also a checkbox in the building description pane labeled 'mirror' so it's obvious the feature exists. Even if you have to hack it together by including mirrored versions of all the assets please make it happen. That Large Water Tank is somehow backwards at least 80% of the time.

23 Nov, '22
GideonDelta

Instead of "mirrored" how about just have buildings dynamically adjust entrances based on the path way, OR, have an interface option to move the entrance by clicking on the building once it's been placed and the entrance updates? Maybe if you hold a key while aligning the building's ghost you can modify it's arrangement. This way you can keep the hotbar clean from a billion different iterations.

It would be nice to all the perfectionists (like me) to mirror buildings and it also would aid when placing water pumps in certain angles. They wouldn't need to be their separate building with the text (mirrored), but there could be a button like for example shift+e or shift+t to mirror the chosen building. The floodgate cornerpiece is just a visual conformity, which would make angled floodgate contraptions look more compelling.

Jeff Merged

make it so all buildings can be mirrored like the basic house. say you push Tab, or some other button and it will flip the building along an axis so that the entrance is on the other side. it would make for better construction and lay out of things.

This is already possible with the "MirroredBuilding" add-on where the "F" key flips any building geometry on the horizontal axis (before it is built, of course).

This is so handy that it should be incorporated in the game.
Then, you could even remove the second one-floor house (which is a nonsense, since there is no such alternatives for bigger houses).

May be useful to know : I used the flip mod but when the power arrives a the normal door place (which as been flip), the building do not receive power, the game still think it is the door place,

23 Apr, '23
Y'shtola

Mirror is one option. But I think a better would be to remove the Power Inputs from the front of buildings. And instead situate it on the back. Maybe also on the sides. Leaving the door free for pathing.

Example in the included image. A lumber mill and a gear building side-by-side with a path in front. If you have power coming in from the left side, you can see the T-junction feeding power into the Mill, while continuing onward to the elbow that feeds power into the gear building.

Feels way more tidy this way, versus having the input remain on the front of these two.

23 Apr, '23
Y'shtola

A continuation on my previous, with image.

This is how ugly it would look using a mirror, assuming the gear building was mirrored, so the power inputs are in the center.
You need platforms and high-power pieces to keep a clean path below.

It's enough to hurt the heart of any beaver engineer, at such inefficiency and waste.

Y'shtola what are you talking about? Power inputs are on ALL sides of buildings (except doors). And not in the roof for most factories.

Hi, building lodges is cool because you can build mirrored ones, the entrances vary and that allows for more complex and intricate house building.
But all the other ones , like saw mill,workshops, tanks and all the other big buildings always have their entrance on the same side. Would be mega to have it like you have it with lodges.

Utilization of space would be much more efficient,and building in general would be much more fun.

Vas

The addition of mirroring buildings in base game would be great, as the mod is currently broken. However that wouldn't solve certain buildings which have a doorway only in the center.

I think it'd be nice if we could build the doorway where we wanted, on an acceptable side/surface. The doorway would be free, instant, and allow only one per building. Even better, if we could merge buildings of similar type together with internal doorways. Say for example, you have two lumber mills in a row, one building behind the other or even side by side. Beavers can knock out the wall in between them and it'd end up acting like a single building of sorts, where they use the door to the one in front to get to the one in back. Climbing out "through a window" if you destroy the building in front while they wait for you to put in a door. This should only work with buildings of similar type. Maybe even the exact same type. (Though, imagine combining mill with gear for efficiency boost!)

An option next to the construction panels, which would allow you to build in symmetry.

And, for each building given its opposite symmetry. for ALL, dont forget the buildings with a central entrace. if its not totaly symetrycal to base, creat him symetrycal twin.

(for example: for a building with a central entrance, but with a window only on the right... for example! we would have this same building, just above its pop-up construction panel in symmetrical opposition.) and of curse, same for the buildings wityhth entrance to right or other way.. ^^

this could be an Artistic advancement. (unlocked via technological advancement... why not a quarter of what it would have cost to unlock the base building.. or for innate buildings, a SMALL amount of development points)

this will be a truly MAJOR step forward in terms of artistic possibilities for our colonies.
