Build Gun

The Construction Tool is a placeholder name for a tool engineers can use to place and deconstruct buildings. It projects holograms showing where the building will be placed, and highlighting key features such as belt inputs and outputs and power sockets. It is not an attainable item, but rather something engineers start with after landing in their pod. It is also the same tool that does resource scanning.

Mass Building
There are currently no systems in the game equivalent to blueprints (from Factorio) allowing for building multiple structures together. A blueprint system may be added post alpha.

Technical details
Placement and deconstruction range is 100 meters (12.5 foundation lengths). Buildings can be rotated in increments of 10°, or 90° when placed on foundations.
