Moonpool orientation?

LordDerp

So is it only possible for a moonpool to be build orienting one way? I want to create a cross-like base, with moon pools coming out of a center room. Two are already in place, but when I want to place the other 2, they don't orient the right way. Is this intended?

Now it looks like this:

But when I try to add another moonpool, it won't orient any other way then this:

I feel your pain, I really do.
Moonpool orientation atm is.... poorly.

Unless they fix that, and I personally would still say its a low priority thing, you will keep having issues with placement.

I believe it will work if you first place corridors between the room and the pools, rather than just connecting them directly.

I tried that too and it didnt worked

A few days ago I happened to be raging at this.
Its next to impossible to do it.
The time needed to (perhaps) get the thing rotated is far far far more then just manually rotating your seamoth :P

The rotation got something to do with the foundation try placeing it in deodorant directions just make sure it conect with the base! You can remove the fundation late.

The better question may be- why do you need multiple Moon Pools?

I need more than one because I have 1 sm for use as cargo hauler (2 cargo 1 perimeter and 1 pressure), 1 as deep level explorer/scout (1 perimeter 2 pressure 1 hull), 1 as hunter/killer (1 perimeter 2 hull 1 torpedo), 1 for general use (my main unit with 1 perimeter 1 hull 1 cargo 1pressure)

Also I keep losing them to the Reapers.

I would like to be able to turn the moon pool just so I can fit them in different areas (like if my base is built on the side of a cliff wall I can turn it to be closer to the wall for both looks and to allow my Cyclops to "park" closer to the base).

This annoys me a bit as well, as I found a great area to put 3 with a single corridor between them (to stop the whole double-access, and allow Reinforcement to stay) but they keep orienting differently.

Also, Denton, the Exosuit will dock at the Moonpool as well, so it's worth keeping space for an extra one.

While the moonpool would be nice temporarily, I believe the exosuit bay is a much better long term idea.

While we allready have the moon pool a exosuit bay is just unessisarry it will just take much more time so please don't say to people that it will be added (even if you didn't say it right it it can seem like so) couse the chance that it will be added is just very very small. So don't get their hope's upp
And why would it be a better long term solution?

Yeah why should we ever have more things to do and stuff to build?

This.

Anyway, I have to agree. I didn't even know you were trying to build four at first... I thought you meant that it looked ugly as hell.

Because this picture. The designs on the top... they're supposed to be mirrored, not tiled. I wants symmetry!
