Industrial Refinery and Industrial Assembler should have mirror versions
Just like the title suggests the Industrial Refinery and Industrial Assembler should have mirror versions of themselves. Currently with the Heavy Industry DLC we have the Industrial Refinery and Industrial Assembler. While they're great blocks to work with, the downside to them is that because they don't have a mirror version, it can be more tedious and annoying to incorporate them into builds than it needs to be. Since there is no mirror version of the blocks, it's impossible to have 100% true symmetry if one wishes to use them. This can lead to a host of other issues such as ports not lining up properly when trying to mirror, and even catwalks of other industrial blocks not lining up properly. This can force complete reworks of certain sections of stations, ships or otherwise depending on one's grid setup.
We already have several mirror blocks in game to address symmetry issues and similar. Giving folks mirror versions of blocks like the Industrial Refinery and Industrial Assembler would make symmetrical builds easier, and would allow for better workflow in industrial areas. In addition it would add to the value of the Heavy Industry DLC and potentially entice more people to purchase it. For alot of people symmetrical builds are a big deal and this would not only allow for symmetrical builds using the Heavy Industry blocks, but potentially lead to more sales of said DLC for Keen, which is a win for players and the company.
I also wouldn't mind seeing variants with side ports at the top of the block and not just those at the bottom. The Heavy Industry blocks are good, but could use a bit extra in the form of mirror options and they would be perfect.
yup. i love to use refinery for reactor rooms etc but lack of mirror version makes my brain hurt
