Demo of automated tile placement and movement (via Picker Dollies)


Demo of some of the selection tools in action



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 settings to change the layering order, higher numbers layer on top of lower numbers.
Tiles assigned with the same number merge rather than layer.
If Alien Biomes is active, settings for layering the painted refined concrete are not available.
If Dectorio is active, this mod will utilize the provided painted refined concrete.
Otherwise, if the startup setting is enabled, this mod will provide the painted refined concrete.

Runtime setting to enable tiles to be selectable via the Foundations button, limit the palette for quicker selection.
Dectorio users should visit the runtime settings (Map tab), most of the Dectorio tiles are not selected by default.

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

Settings for the various supported mods are only visible when the supported mod is active.

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:

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.
