why 23 degree slopes?

Hello I just bought the alpha and something I notice is why is the coaster standard 23 degrees slopes?

Wouldnt it be much easier if it was 45/22.5/etc degrees? 23 is such an odd number

In alpha 1 it was 22.5 degrees, so my guess is that they've just rounded it up.

It is - but maths tells us to round up at 22.5 (-> 23) and the other way at 11.25 (-> 11).

I guess, actually it is an angle of 22.5 / 11.25 and just written down in rounded numbers, but tbh I don't think you would notice a difference, would you? :D

well if you do 2 times 23 degrees you get 46 degrees which is 1 degree off by 45 degrees

this is very annoying if you want to build straight but it wont actually be straight it will be 1 degree off

I believe it is actually 22.5 degrees but it's just written as 23 to keep things neat, so the angles are correct.

ah i hope so because right now i need to remake everything everytime i notice its set to 23 degrees. i usually make it 15 degrees

yes me too i use 2 degrees, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 22.5 degrees, 30 degrees or 45degrees etc

but it will go to 23 degrees by default which is kinda annoying, i wish it would remember the previous degrees and change 23 at least to 22.5
