Move buildings and walls at a 45 degree angle

Allow us to move objects at 45 degree angles.

What if we just had a slider to move it a full 360 degrees?

Also would be nice if can terraform at 45 degrees too

From what I understand this isn't possible, as it is designed to "click"

45 degrees however may be [more] possible than a free-form 360 option.

45, or maybe even 15 degrees would be great! Anything that would allow tribes to look unique is ideal.

Yeah, a full 360 degrees may make it difficult to have things kinda "snap" together like they should. Maybe have it as low as 10 or 15 degrees?

I agree with 15 degrees would be nice.
But I think it is more realistic to hope for 45 :) (you'd still be able to make diverse villages).

Terraforming 45 degrees is a tough job that requires loads of patience (Especially if you want it levelled). I'd like to see an option for it though like raising a square, then only raising one half square, depending on which corner you stand in you raise that half of it.
- Correspondingly there should be a level option so that you can level those areas as well.

It would be nice if the construction objects anchored in the center of the object and would pivot around the anchor point.

But the way things are set up in Xsyon, objects anchor on the ends or corners on to the corner or edge of a tile. All land features are defined by a 1 meter grid and those construction objects lock on to that grid. That is why things are on a 90 degree axis.

The devs have mentioned in the past that they may do something in the future to allow for 45 degree aligned objects. Though I too would like to be able to pivot the objects a degree at a time.
