90 degree turns

I have no current plans for that.

But will think of it. If it gets in, it will still need a sideways move of the incoming pipe.
The entrance will still be on the second tile. But is cleaner that now.

I do work on the option ( have a local prototype of it ) of manual selection of the direction instead of automatic. That would give the possibility to have connectors directly attaching to the UndergroundTransport. \

Thanks for that info.

I was actually thinking that the red line that goes out showing the connection to the paired device could go out at 90degrees.... No idea if that's possible or not.....

Cheers,
Chris.

Didn't think on that option. Might be a better solution. It avoids the multiple in/out connections and management of that. I don't want to get to a full underground network, just a one to one connection between two underground transports.
Would need 3 new UT's, (liquid, unit, loose) with sideways remote connection, flip to switch left/right.
Have to check how that works out with the autoconnect.

I like the idea of the 1-1, that makes things very simple.

Rather than 3 new UT's, I'm wondering if the same one could do all three. Just click a button to move from left, straight, right etc..... Just a thought. No idea if that would be easier than separate ones or not.

Cheers,
Chris.
