Keyboard Shortcuts

• Keyboard shortcuts can be used when hovering over the map.
• C: Construct/places the selected building.
• F: Fetch - when hovering over a building already on the map, "fetches/grabs" the facility type off the map.
• D: Deletes the building that the cursor is currently hovering over.

Various enhancements to previous City Designer concepts were envisioned when this City Designer was developed, below is a concise summary of the newly implemented features.

• Checks for restrictions on facilities based upon Terrain and Hidden-status of the city.
• Does not allow the placement of facilities that violate the 2-sides rule, when the box is checked.
• Enforces no overlapping of buildings.
• Implicit Validation on-design-load for all of the above, as well as explicitly via the validate link.
• Automatic stat calculation, such as employment rate (ER).
• Shows the number of freighter hauls required to build the city (based on the Mass/Volume of the required raw materials and Mass/Volume capacity of the ship type).
• Comprehensive error detection in city design input codes.
• Has a confirmation box for clearing the map, instead of a double-click.
• Does not allow the conversion of empty squares to roads.
