Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Space platform foundations are tiles used to extend the dimensions of a space platform. When a platform is initially constructed (by launching a space platform starter pack with a rocket silo), the platform will have 36 platform foundation placed around the space platform hub, with 10 more in the platform's inventory. This will usually not be enough space for buildings and other infrastructure, so more space platform foundations must be sent to the platform to extend its size.

Each platform foundation increases a ship's weight by 0.2 tons. This is distinct from the launch weight of 20kg per platform foundation (50 tiles / 1000kg = 20kg each).

Notes

• Space platforms cannot be built with holes in them. If the player tries to create the hole, the space platform foundation will not build and will display a warning.
• When a space platform foundation gets destroyed, everything not connected to the space platform hub will be destroyed.
• When building a space platform from a blueprint or remote map view, each tile has a 1-second expansion animation. Each space platform foundation will do the expansion animation on its three exposed faces for 1 tile of length before repeating.
