	[[File:medium_electric_pole_ghost.png\|thumb\|180px\|Ghosts of [[Medium electric pole]]s at the top row, with normally placed ones below.]]An '''Entity ghost''' is a transparent version of a placed entity, which is used as a planning tool to either map something out for future placing, or something for [[construction robot]]s to place once the materials are available. An entity ghost can be placed with the {{keybinding\|LMB}} while holding {{keybinding\|Left Shift}} while an entity is selected beforehand. Placing the ghost entity comes at no cost of the actual entity selected. This can also be done when placing [[rail]]s, by selecting which direction you want the rail to travel, starting with an existing (ghost) rail while holding {{keybinding\|Left Shift}}.

	Many ghost entities can be created at once from a single [[blueprint]], depending on the layout of said blueprint. Only some static structures can be placed in ghost form, so other types of (more mobile) entities such as [[robots]] or [[vehicles]] can not appear that way.

	~~Construction robots will place the real version of the ghost entity if the following (or even both) conditions are met:~~
	* The materials required to build the entity are available in the [[logistic network]], and enough construction robots are free to begin the placing.
	* The materials required to build the entity are available from the player's inventory, and the construction robots are available in the same way.
	~~[[File:cursor_ghost.png\|frame\|right\|The cursor as it appears prior to placing an entity ghost.]]~~

	Ghosts that are created by blueprints or by using {{keybinding\|Left Shift\|LMB}} will last forever. Ghosts that are automatically created when an entity is destroyed, which only happens after [[construction robotics (research)\|construction robotics]] is researched, will last a week. The remaining time is indicated by the purple bar below the ghost.
