Hinges, Rotors & Pistons should display current angle/distance + better Rotor angle control (0360°)
Not Enough Votes
Description:
1. Display current values
- Hinges should clearly show their current angle
- Rotors should clearly show their current angle
- Pistons should clearly show their current extension/distance
These values should be visible in the control panel and preferably also on the block or HUD so players can easily see the exact position.
2. Improved Rotor control Rotors need better angle adjustment. Players should be able to freely set and control the rotor angle across the full 0° to 360° range so they can be used more like side hinges / robot joints / mechanical arms.
Right now it is limited and makes precise robotic or mechanical builds harder than they should be.
Why this is needed: These blocks are heavily used for mechanical systems, doors, arms, and complex moving structures. Better feedback and more flexible angle control would make them much more useful and enjoyable to work with.

a couple more functionality improvements
1) Add a lock function. currently hinges have a habit of randomly clipping out of joint and into the main grid.

2) Please make separate slide for force applied to mechanical blocks. cannot make retractable landing gears or other items that need to support real weight. the force slider would allow so much more freedom to build way more complex grids.
thanks for reading.
