Terrain Toggle

Ever shift+clicked a building ghost near water/lava/oil-ocean and watched landfill or foundation tiles popping up you didn't ask for? This mod fixes that.

Adds shortcut bar buttons to independently toggle landfill, foundation, cliff explosives and elevated rail auto-placement on and off. When a toggle is off, shift+clicking no longer auto-suggests those tiles in blueprints or the rail planner — but you can still craft and place them manually whenever you want.

Features

  • Per-type toggles — landfill, foundation, cliff explosives and elevated rail are controlled independently
  • Recipes stay enabled — toggling off never removes your ability to craft the item
  • Research-locked — buttons only activate once the relevant technology is researched, no cheesing
  • Rail planner aware — the rail planner immediately respects the toggle state

Compatibility

  • Requires Factorio 2.0
  • Space Age DLC required for foundation and elevated rail toggles

Inspired by Foundation research toggle (CramerC) — extended with additional toggles and Foundations Required compatibility.


A note on AI-assisted development 🤖

The vast majority of this mod's code was written with AI assistance — and we're not shy about it. The mod went through careful human direction and testing, but the heavy lifting was done by Claude. The future of coding is human + AI, and this mod is a small proof of that. 😉
