Horizontal doors

RHunter · May 6th 2018

I've heard that in order to do a horizontal-laying door, you have to blueprint it and rotate it down. (like a trap door or a floor hatch, for example)

So I tried that and it looked great. However, the door swing doesn't work. While the door was correctly laying horizontal, when opened the door would retain the swing direction of the original upright door. Instead of opening "upwards", it swings along the floor.

How do I get one to work correctly?

Thanks

Short answer the rotation axis doesn't move atm so you cannot do what you are trying to do

This limitation will be removed with the next update, so it will be possible to create horizontal doors by using blueprints
In the long run, we will also add proper trap doors and floor hatches of course^^

A half-size door for gardens would be nice too. Sure you can put half of the old door in the ground, but the opener is also in the ground.
