Allow mirror and/or doorway variation for every building
Drawing path on random generated terrain with a building that have specific waypoint can become totally mess. In many situation is called for building to reflect itself on its axis
Please allow building to mirror like a lodge. And instead of mirror lodge, please add command to allow mirror on every building. Or we might have many version variation that we could toggle between by some hotkey (like a rotation by r). Such as a triple lodge might have 3 version, with left/right/center door
Suspension bridge might allow left/right path in addition to center. And carousel might have 3 way it could place a doorway on left/right/front. This could make us easier plan the village layout and make simpler logistic

James YangSmaller 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).

KrufarIn 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.

SimonQuite 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.

BellI 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.
-
27 Sep, '21
EdesRozsaflipping 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. -

Revengeance MergedIt 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.

NetherdanAnother issue are the double/triple lodges having only the option to have the doorway on the second floor. In addition to choosing the horizontal position of the entrance, we could be able to choose its vertical position as well

Mark MergedRather 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 :)

JbuttYes! None of the buildings have text on them, so a simple mirror building modifier key or something for placement wouldn't require any special asset work. Workers and Resources recently added a whole slew of mirrored buildings and it made such a massive difference, so good.

JoakimI'm going for "The door is a separate thing" Build a house, then place its door. For some buildings I'm fine with that this isn't possible, like the smelter, but storage and housing should be okay

DavidInstead of mirroring have a hotkey that moves the entrance around the building. Then instead of rotating the buildings have a key that flips the long and short axis.
-

Noel'R' to rotate
'F' to flip/mirror
Even if internally the left and right versions need to be individual buildings, display the text about them as being identical. -

Craig MergedIt 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.

DelugeI 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! -

VasThere 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.

VasWith 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. -

ToryPretty 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.

A beaverFor simplicity, have a hotkey when placing building - R rotates, and some other button like T for turn or M for mirror or F for flip flips the building
-

GideonDeltaInstead 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.

Senator Armstrong MergedIt 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.
-
24 Dec, '22
Jeff Mergedmake 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.

Thierry MergedThis 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). -
