Hi
I'm new so hope this is the right place to ask about this. If not my apologies. Here's my problem and I was advised by support to ask here to see if anyone else has experienced this issue, as they have run out of suggestions for helping with it. I have searched the internet for anyone else suffering this but still have not found a solution.
I started playing Planet Zoo a few weeks ago and from the start I have not been able to use Z to rotate 90 degrees when I'm building in a group mode i.e. when I'm building a shop shell or a construction of any sort that requires the piece to rotate 90 degrees and snap into place next to the wall already built. Like I do the back wall then want to rotate 90 degrees to do the side wall and I can't. I have to exit completely and try to line it up to the back wall manually.
Out of group editing Z rotate works fine. I can use the X control out of group editing as well, no problem. It's just when I start a group mode Z rotate just doesn't work.
Some background.
I am left handed so rebound some of the controls including rotate Z 90 degrees to suit this, Z rotate 90 degrees still didn't work though. All the other rebound keys worked except Z rotate 90 degrees. This seemed to completely mess things up and suddenly I couldn't delete anything or click on anything at all. Once I reset the controls to their default position the issue was resolved and the controls worked perfectly again. I am now using the controls for building in their default position, with all the keys on the left hand side of the keyboard, same side as my mouse of course but at least they work.
I have changed my mouse orientation in Windows 10 to suit my left handedness but game treats buttons on mouse exactly as if I am using it right handed, i.e. I click a control that says left button with the right button but it still works as if I clicked the left button. I havn't found any control in game that allows you to swap the mouse around so I presume it is taking it's que from Windows, so I am wondering if that is what is stopping the Z rotate working in group mode.
I tried swapping the mouse buttons back in windows to right handed use. Then started a new game but it was still the same, the buttons worked as normal, Z rotate 90 degrees worked once and then stopped working again.
I have completely reinstalled the game twice but it makes no difference Z rotate still won't work in group build mode.
Has anyone else had this issue? I have just about given up trying to build anything in game now as it is so time consuming. I have to exit group build mode and line up each separate piece individually, if it is anything other than a straight wall. If I don't line it up just right the whole thing is out of line and the roof etc won't fit properly, which means undoing it all and starting again. It's just too much work. Building is a part of the game I really love so it will be such a shame if I can't continue with that any more.
Hope someone has a solution or some ideas.
