is there a way to rotate items to place in your grid?

Is there a way to rotate goods etc when you move them. example the marble goods would be 3 long instead of 3 wide for placement?

 

[Yogi Dave]

There is not and it has been said this will not happen since it is part of the challenge of the game. It's a good question that most of us have asked when we are new to the game. It is frustrating at times, but what would be the point if it was too easy?

What may help you is using Elvenarchitect.com.

What may help even more is once your city become visible to elvenstats.com, you can load it directly from their page, which I was able to do for your city on Elcysandir, in case you'd like to play with it.

Meanwhile, this one gets rid of some unnecessary roads while giving you room to upgrade all of your houses and leaving some expansion room. A key thing that helps is to try to keep all of your largest buildings on the outside of the city, with their shortest side facing the road. That reduces wasted road.

You will soon produce way more of your boosted goods than the other two, so try not keep too many of the non-boosted factories around. Once your boost hits 200%, you can offer you main good in the trader at 2 for 1and break even. if you offer at about 110 to 100 your trades probably won't last long and you'll come out ahead over making the non boosted yourself.

Although the actual formula the devs use is slightly more complex, Your boosted goods are easily identified by drawing a point-up, isosceles triangle around your city. See this post: https://us.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/boosted-manufacturies.7970/#post-60626

You can see what your boosted goods are if you check your main hall and click the relics tab. How they are decided is where we are placed on the map when we first join Elvenar. If you look at your city on the world map your boosted goods will be at 12:00, 5:00 and 7:00 around your city.

@pwmarsh
Here is an image to help. I have my Main Hall window open, and you can see my boosted are highlighted. I also have my mouse hovering over the little crate icon at the top, and the boosts are highlighted there, as well.

Here it is on mobile. A little different, but you can see a little green "up" arrow in the corner of the boosted goods.
