Fence gates

A very minor issue.

Trying to build a gate on a fence and the only orientation the game allows is this weird sideways one:

This fence tile used to be a corner - I then extended it left words and have just deleted the upwards part of the fence (wood still not collected in picture). Presumably this is the cause of this slight glitch.

Did you try hitting tab to turn it?

Naturally. I do have 400+ hours on this game lol. But it only rotated back and forth between 2 180 degree rotations, never the quarter turn I wanted.

Are you trying to build the gate over an existing fence or did you delete that fence segment too before trying to build the gate? I think I normally delete them to reclaim the wood.

I was trying to build over. Of course what I did end up doing was deleting it and building on the empty tile. So it’s not a big issue. Like at all. But it’s a quirky echo of some bugs that were around is 0.9.7p so I reported it completion.

Alright, well that at least adds some clues as to the conditions to trigger this bug. That should be enough to help steer them in the right direction.

Might also be because it was a corner originally. I’ve knocked a few fence pieces down to place gates and haven’t had that problem, but all my replacements were on straight sections.
