How do i center Mass caps?

Postby UraniumTrader42 » 24 Jun 2013, 12:01

One stupid question from my side:
It is annoying to place these mass storage caps (templates) around mexes with offset.
i tried to make some templates that there is no offset (placing a wall in the middle, pgen, mass storage) and it doesn´t work out. There is still this offset.
Question: How do you get rid of that offset?

Your local UraniumTrader :)

Mine are just four, so its offset to the left.

Just put a mass storage in the middle, like so:

X
X X X
X


That being said, adding a thing so these snap to position just like mex's would be awesome.

Build a mass storage in the middle first then surround by 4 mass storage. Then you can place a ring of 4 storage by clicking directly on the mex.

Thanks for the answers, it works now.
I think my mistake was that i built the ring first and placed the middle object later.

The first building in your template should be in the center position, over the mex. Some players use a 5th M storage unit. I prefer to use a T1 mex in the template. So it will snap to location. 8-) Problem solved.
