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.


  • Shortcut to toggle display of the Foundations button
  • Startup setting to halt construction if insufficient tiles in player inventory
  • 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.
Foundations button is disabled while in remote view.


Limitations:

Tiles placed or removed with the selection tools are not "Undo"-able, use them with some caution.
