	When placing [[rail]]s, the [[rail planner]] is a convenient way to place a large number of rails, and is required for placing curved rails. The rail planner will place ghosts when {{keybinding\|~~Shift~~}} is held at the same time as clicking a rail planner arrow. In ghost mode the rail planner can be used to place ghost rails of any length.

	Once [[Construction robotics (research)\|construction robotics]] has been researched any entities that are destroyed (for example by [[enemies]]) will leave behind a ghost. This allows these buildings to be re-built automatically if construction robots are available in the area.

This allows these buildings to be re-built automatically if construction robots are available in the area.

	A '''ghost''' is a semi-transparent marker for an entity or [[tile]] which can be placed as a planning tool for future manual building or for [[construction robot]]s to place using supplies from a [[logistic network]]. A ghost does not perform any of the functions of the object it represents, but exists to mark the spot where the item should later be built or, in the case where an entity was destroyed, the place where it stood. A ghost can store configuration information such as the recipe used by an [[assembling machine]]; this configuration will become active when the real entity is placed on top of the ghost.
