What direction is up?

Post by Zygon »

I think I understand with ships, the top of the .png represents the front of the ship so the game moves it correctly.

How does it work with bases? I realize it's an OCD thing but a couple of my bases aren't top down views, more of a side view and they continually get built upside down (I know, no up in space, but there is on my screen :-P)

I've tried rotating the .png but that doesn't seem to change anything. I've also tried building them in different areas around a planet, but it almost seems random in its orientation.

Thanks. :-)

Base orientation is random, which means if you use non-top down images you just have to live with the oddness. Personally, I've adjusted to that now and actually kind of like it (I think space *should* be disorientating).

I'll use it as an opportunity to get over everything having to be perfect. :-P

Thanks!
