New page

'''SHIFT''' and '''SPACE''' work as normal for appending and inserting structure placement commands.

=== Modifiers ===

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+ALT''' to drag a box of structures.

Hold '''SHIFT+CTRL+ALT''' to drag a hollow box of structures.

When placing groups of structures, '''Z''' and '''X''' will increase and decrease the spacing between individual structures.

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.

Holding '''ALT''' while placing a metal extractor will place 4 solars around it. This protects the mex and provides [[Overdrive]].

Holding '''ALT''' (and using the scrollwheel to adjust building height) will place the structure on a small [[Terraform|terraformed]] area. Pressing '''B''' will toggle terraformed placement. The height can also be adjusted with '''C''' and '''V'''. Additionally, hold the left mouse button down for a second hen placing the structure. This will bring up a building placement tooltip and allow height adjustment by moving the mouse.

−	After choosing the terraform height, click to 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 with '''SPACE''' and '''SHIFT'''.
