'''SHIFT''' and '''SPACE''' work as normal for appending and inserting structure placement commands.
 
 
 
When placing factories (or other structures), their orientation can be rotated by cliking and dragging, or with '''[''' and ''']'''.
 
 
 
Holding '''Q''' while placing structures will only place the framework, which will let the structure be completed later.
 
 
 
=== Placing Multiple Structures ===
 
Multiple structures can be queued with a single command by holding shift and left-click dragging. The shape of placement can be changed with additional modifiers. Press '''Z''' and '''X''' to adjust the spacing between the structures.
 
 
 
Hold '''SHIFT''' while dragging the mouse to place a line of structures.
 
 
 
Hold '''SHIFT+CTRL''' to drag a line of structures in the 4 cardinal directions. If holding the mouse over a building, it will surround that building with the selected structure.
 
 
 
Hold '''SHIFT+CTRL''' and click on a unit to queue a wall of structures surrounding the unit.
 
 
 
Hold '''SHIFT+ALT''' to drag a box of structures.
 
 
 
Hold '''SHIFT+CTRL+ALT''' to drag a hollow box of structures. 
 
 
 
=== Structure Terraform ===
 
[[Terraform|Terraform]] can easily be queued before construction to put a structure on a spire or in a hole. There are various ways to issue this command.
 
 
 
{{Navbox commands}}
 
 
 
 
 
Height selection mode can be entered as follows:
 
[list]
 
[*]By holding '''Alt''' while selecting a structure placement command.
 
[*]By pressing '''B''' during structure placement.
 
[*]By holding '''Alt''' and using the mouse wheel during structure placement.
 
[/list]
 
Press '''C''' and '''V''' or hold '''Alt''' and use the mouse wheel to select the height of the structure. Place the structure as usual to issue the terraform and construction command. Structure terraform does not support multiple structure placement but it does support queuing and insertion.
 
 
 
Structure terraform can also be ordered purely with the mouse. Left click and hold (keeping the cursor stationary) when placing a structure to enter terraform height selection mode. Move the mouse and down to adjust the height and left click again to issue the command. See the [Terraform#Level|Level Command] for details on the available modifiers.
