How to adjust structure height in Nightingale

If you enjoy building large-scale bases in survival games like Nightingale, you may notice a peculiar feature of the structure rotate keys being the same as those to adjust their height. While they initially look identical, pressing the R key on your keyboard will help solve the issue.

How to adjust building height in Nightingale

To adjust structure height in Nightingale, hold down the R key on your keyboard as you scroll your mouse wheel. While your mouse wheel typically rotates objects, holding R switches it to height adjustment, allowing you to move structures up and down as you see fit.

Changing build height is particularly helpful if you’re creating a base on unsteady terrain and need to raise your foundation slightly to keep things even. Alternatively, if you want to keep it partially dug into the ground, use this mechanic to lower its height. You can do this with any building, but you can’t have random beds and tents floating in the air. However, you can stack foundation stocks by adjusting their height, allowing you to make a base high in the sky with stairs leading you up to its entrance.

At any point during your playthrough, you can change these keys by heading into your settings, selecting Key Bindings, and scrolling down until you see the following options:

• Rotate structure
• Adjust structure height
• Toggle adjust height

Each option has its respective key bind, which you can change according to your preferences. If other keys make it easier to remember or access with your setup, you can apply these in your settings and use them. Otherwise, if you prefer your original keys, you can also reset your keybindings to default in this menu. Likewise, you can change other keybindings, including those for rotating structures, if needed.
