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).

  • In-game settings for automated tile placement for 1x1 electric poles, inserters, belts, splitters, and loaders.

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.
