As incredible is Update 5 is, one thing I really wished for was the ability to do 22.5 degree rotations a-la Valheim which allows for near-perfect circular builds where the walls built on the circumference line up (due to cos22.5 + cos45 + cos67.5 == 2.0137 or almost exactly 2)

Sadly the unmodded Update 5's 5 degree rotations skips past this specific alignment.

I had an idea that allowed for a very close approximation abusing beams which essentially mimics (close enough) this specific maths, by first building the circumference and then extending spokes inward to the center.

Notice how in the final build, the edges of the frame walls are right smack on top of each other, (even if they aren't perfectly mathematically aligned) Most configurations you get in Satisfactory (even in multiples of 5 degrees, as fine as that is) do not have this coincidental maths.
