Gate building fun

[mvgulik]

O crap. The nice "Joy of discovering" (again).

If the game has multiple build-gates option, It will pick its own preferred direction (N-S if available) while (still) not providing any way to adjust that in some (normal) way.




And No. A work-around, as simple as it might be (even for wall), is not a normal way.

a smart solution would be "rotating" gates holding SHIFT like with items placement, but restricted to 4 available dimensions.

a stupid solution would be to add the gate directions as a separate cornerpost flower menu items.

a most likely solution will be "none of the above" until in, like, w32.5.12 cornerposts get removed altogether and gates become a natural occurrence while you prospecting for a desired shape of palisade using hearth magic and the problem just goes away.
