The Carousel Mod adds camera rotation.
Carousel Mod features
Default rotation key (changeable in the options): Numpad Enter
Limitations/won’t fix:
- Pawns not moving straight toward or away from the camera have only right- and left-facing textures available
- Many things have only one side-texture so they fake rotation using reflection (e.g. research benches)
- Square things with only one texture always face the camera (e.g. items, steeles, sculptures)
- Some non-square objects have only a single texture so they can look quite odd
- In vanilla those are: shuttles, condition causers (e.g. sun blocker) and crashed ship parts (e.g. defoliator)
Current issues:
– Pawn shadows are sometimes wrongly placed
– Motes (Zzzs etc.) and some other objects don’t rotate properly
– Water animation disappears at some angles
The mod is purely cosmetic and safe to add and remove.
