The on-going space voxel project by the six sibling studio, ZanMgt! A labor of love, Blockade Runner is an ever-evolving development that's currently undergoing a major engine overhaul to provide a solid foundation for the game's bi-weekly builds. We've found the bi-weekly builds to be an enjoyable and healthy development cycle and are anxiously preparing the game for their return!

Description

Frustrating asymmetrical ship building is a thing of the past with the addition of Symmetry to Blockade Runner’s Editor! To begin, you start by setting the position of a symmetry field. After a field is set, any action done on one side will be duplicated on the other side. The fields can be added to all three axises (X, Y, Z) allowing for even quicker symmetrical ship building!

Other fun abilities with the symmetry tool include...

* Placement of a symmetry field inside a single block or in-between two blocks (allowing both symmetrical and asymmetrical ships)

* Lock the placement direction for more specific placement.

* Individual fields can be toggled on and off, remembering their last locations.

* “Symmify”, replacing everything on the other side of the symmetry fields with a mirror copy of your side.

* Every shape works with mirror and undo.

These and more can be accessed with a simple click of the arrow next to the tool name!
