Having this idea when using the octagon bricks, which have the studs on the side. Would it be possible to implent code to support bricks from the side instead of just putting bricks/plate above/under them?

It's possible to allow them to be placed but stuff like hasPathToGround() and willCauseChainKill() would break, so it's better not to at this point.

Custom support directions/a BLB collision character for sideways connections would be handy though

Maybe we should just kill the .blb format.
It's old hard to make etc etc etc.
Why don't we just allow bricks to be a .dts and have nodes for the studs. then not only could we rotate bricks around the Z axis 90*, but we could rotate bricks around ANY axis. And, it would pave the way for buildable vehicles and make bricks a lot easier to make.
