edit the offsets and it should be fine

#

don't make it be lopsided

#

center the box on it

#

if you need to go from -4 -> -3, change the absolute offset to counter, 0 -> -1

shell finch
#

You can't do that

#

Either everything is odd, or everything is even

#

Maybe if the cell size was a multiple of 4 it would work out for everything to be even

#

Cuz the cell size is 150

outer tree
#

that's fine

shell finch
#

No it's not

outer tree
#

leave that at 150, adjust the other two values

shell finch
#

I can't

#

It won't let me

outer tree
#

won't or can't

shell finch
#

Can't

Not on pc anymore

#

It's 5AM for me

outer tree
#

ok, i'll assume won't until shown that it's can't 🦆

#

good luck with the naps

#

I don't think there's a way for me to do this without redesigning the blueprint

shell finch
#

I wonder if rotating blueprints with train tracks are even possible in factorio

#

Since the tracks are 2x2

outer tree
#

you should be able to just adjust the bounding box and offset

#

it is extremely possible and i do it all the time

shell finch
#

Cool

#

That's good to know

"cant"
when you change it, it pops up a thing about having to change both values not just 1 value, so thats probably what you mean by "cant"
cant just do 1

outer tree
#

should be able to do both though

#

150x150+odd,odd+odd,odd is fine, so is 150x150+even,even+even,even

don't manually change the numbers to center it, shift-click on the blueprint image instead

#

it's 1 million times easier

This does not work if trying to perform some offsets such as changing from even to odd. In that case you need to manually enter the new offsets, save, and then reopen for the blueprint to be using the new alignment.

This is only an issue for blueprints that are forced to be aligned to the 2x2 grid such as rails. Say you bleuprint a 2 segment long piece of rails (area 4x2). You can arrange the blueprint to either tile with a 4x2 area aligned to the rail grid that fully contains the rails, or as a 2x2 area offset from the rail grid that has the rails protruding from it by 1 tile. It is making this conversion that requires manually entering all the offset and tiling values as odd or even.
