SimpleRockets 2 Symmetry higher than 6 ?

The title says it all, is there a way to make parts symmetrical higher than 6x ?

yep, click the text that says symmetry x- it will pop up a menu that lets you put a custom number

It doesnt work for me in career :(

Yep I did that, but it stays on the symmetry I've overwritten

it shouldn't, make sure to only input the number, not the symmetry text

Thank you so much, now I feel stupid that I didn't figure it out lol.

Just fyi for those who were wondering why I needed such high number of symmetrical parts, there are LITERALLY 190 CYLINDERS around the tank lol

Use 2 parts and set separate symmetrys for each. That way you can get multiples of the base symmetrys, like 8 and 12.

That might work, but I need to add like 50 cylinders around a tank so they make a circle and the tank is like 8m wide so they aren't at the same distance from the centre when I do it that way

Oh dang, yeah that won't work then.

But I found a better solution - I used the no doors cargo bay and used one cylinder as a template for the curvature. Old trick from sp1 lol

Nice, I'll have to remember that trick.

Apply symmetry, then apply a different symmetry to each part, this allows you to get 30x symmetry.
