Symmetry / Mirror Axis when building

15 votes

Looking through airship designs, it looks like a lot of us like building symmetrical either on an odd or even axis. If we had the option to toggle an axis when building, it would make things far easier for building and tearing down airships.

Essentially, stand on a grid in the airship, toggle on the axis, and select if you want it set to width or length axis.

This could be a late game QOL upgrade to the airship builder.

From a programming perspective, it would simply duplicate the ghosting and checks for placement. The grids on the airships are small enough that I wouldn't expect the math itself to be terribly complicated.

I've attached a screenshot from the game Avorion's Facebook demonstrating a similar function, though the game is quite different from Forever Skies.

I realize that this is probably unlikely due to the crafting/survival focus of the game, but for those of us that do a lot of teardowns/rebuilds it'd improve the late game.
