| Flag: | Foundation |
| File(s): | art(md).ini |
| Values: | Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: hardcoded values↓) |
| Default: | 1x1 |
| Applicable to: | BuildingTypes |
Template:TTL specifies the shape of the "footprint" of a BuildingType, i.e. how many cells will it occupies.
Accepted values
All values are case-insensitive. Any other values will simply be ignored and the default used instead. The first number represents the cell-count along the NW-SE axis, the second along the NE-NW axis.
0x0, 6x4, 3x4, 4x4, 5x3, 2x5, 2x6, 1x5, 1x4, 4x3, 3x1, 1x3, 3x3Refinery, 4x2, 3x5, 3x3, 3x2, 2x3, 2x2, 1x2, 2x1, 1x1
Note: You cannot make up other foundations, because these are actually hardcoded in the EXE, and only appear to be modifiable.
3x3Refinery
3x3Refinery is an unusual shape. While all other foundations are rectangles, this one has an empty cell in the center of the third row.
Albeit containing "Refinery" in the value string, this Template:TTL will not work for a Template:TTL because the harvester's docking point inside a refinery is hardcoded to be the second cell in the fourth row.
Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
This flag is read from art(md).ini twice: from section you specified in rules as [object]->Image , and from simply [object] , and the second one overrules the first if present. This causes weird behaviour, like setting
[GAYARD] Image=NAHAND
in rules still requires a 4x4 Foundation to place, contrary to what logic dictates - you need to remove the Foundation flag from GAYARD to get it to use NAHAND's one.
Construction Yards
Template:NeedTesting Also, the AI seems to have a problem using a construction yard with any foundation smaller than 2x2, it will deploy the construction yard but will not build anything. This was only tested on construction yards but may also apply to other factory types, such as war factory's or naval yards.
