Unpacking direction #47

Open mase76 opened 5 years ago

mase76 commented 5 years ago

Hi! I would suggest, that the digtron machine is unpacked facing the same direction, as the player was standing relative to the crate when packing. That would be more flexible unpacking in small tunnels.

Rather than make it depend on where the player is standing, how about I add "this side forward" and "this side up" faces to the crate and have the Digtron's orientation depend on the crate's orientation? Feels like that would be more controllable and fit better with the existing ways of controlling the orientation of things (screwdrivers and orientation of blocks on placement).

Also a good idea. The main thing is, having a defined direction when unpacking.

I've started work on a complete rewrite of Digtron, and I'll be taking this issue into account as I do so. I think I'm probably going to be able to obsolete the crate entirely and make it so you can just "pick up" the control node and have the whole Digtron go along with it.

@FaceDeer crates are still useful for few reasons:
