According to the changelog, the latest beta was supposed to allow us to change the rotation axis of workshop objects by clicking the left stick. I have yet to get this to work, either with my Steam Controller or with my wired X360 controller.

Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me? No other control issues.

It's not actually workshop objects, but held (grabbed) objects in normal game mode. When you're placing objects in your home, for instance, you no longer have to swing them around and push them against stuff to get them oriented how you want--you can now rotate them either direction with the triggers (or mouse buttons), and tap Sprint (default click Left Stick or Left Shift key) to change to the next axis of rotation.

Ohh...thanks!

I think I'll just use the OCDispenser mod then.
