+* Hold {{key combo|Shift|Space}} to insert orders between existing orders. The order will try to be inserted between two nearby orders such that the constructor will minimize the added movement distance.
 === Build Facing ===
-When placing factories (or other structures), their orientation can be selected by clicking and dragging, rotated in 90 degree steps using '''[''' and ''']''', or rotated clockwise in 90 degree steps by pressing the R key.
+When placing factories or other structures, their orientation can be selected by clicking and dragging, rotated in 90 degree steps using {{key press|[}} and {{key press|]}}, or rotated clockwise in 90 degree steps by pressing the {{key press|R}} key.
 === Terraforming ===
-[[Terraform#terraform_types|Terraforming]] 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 depending on your advanced settings in Interface -> Building Placement.

+An existing building can be surrounded by a terraformed wall by selecting the terraform command from the Special tab (hotkeys {{key press|V}}, then {{key press|X}}), then holding down {{key press|Ctrl}} and clicking on the building. Release {{key press|Ctrl}} and move the mouse upwards to set the height of the wall.
