Foundations button: (disabled)

With the Foundations button, you can disable the automated placement of tiles or select the tile of your choice.
You can also enable the available selection based tools by:

Key + Mouse-click Tool Effect
[Ctrl]+[Left-click] Fill Places tiles on open positions
[Shift]+[Left-click] Unfill Removes tiles from open positions
[Ctrl]+[Right-click] Place Places tiles under entities
[Shift]+[Right-click] Unplace Removes tiles from under entities

To use: Release the [Key] and then [Left-click] hold and drag.


  • Startup setting to select the tile mining time (default = 0.1).
  • Startup setting to clean sweep (remove ground decorations), when tiles are placed.
  • Startup setting for the number of rows to add to the player inventory size.
  • Startup setting to enable the hidden refined concrete variants.
  • Startup setting to modify the refined concrete variants' layer.
    (higher numbers appear above lower numbers, same numbers merge).

  • Runtime settings to add small/medium electric poles, inserters, belts, splitters, and loaders as excluded entities.

  • Runtime setting to enable tiles to be selectable via the Foundations button, limit the palette for quicker selection.


Construction is halted if the player’s inventory lacks a sufficient quantity of the selected tile.
Make sure to have enough of the selected tile or disable automated tile placement.

Foundations is compatible with personal logistics for construction and deconstruction.


Limitations:

Aquillo and Remote View not supported
Tiles placed or removed with the selection tools are not "Undo"-able, use them with some caution.
Not compatible with multi-player mode, single-player mode only.
