Space platform foundations are used to extend the dimensions of a space platform. Nearly any building can be placed on the foundation to add to the functionality of a space platform. They are also essential components for the space platform starter pack, which is something that creates a space platform when launched with a rocket. The starting space platform will not be large enough for other buildings, so more Space platform foundations must be sent to the platform to extend its size.

Notes

• Each platform starter pack comes with 10 Space platform foundation in the inventory and 36 Space platform foundation placed around the Space platform hub.
• Space platforms cannot be built with holes in them. If you try to close the hole, the Space platform foundation will not build and will display a warning.
• It takes 5 Space platform foundation to increase a ships weight by one ton (200kg or 0.2 tons). This is different from the rocket launch weight of 20 kg per Space platform foundation (50 tiles / 1000kg = 20kg).
• When building a space platform from a blueprint or remote map view, each tile has a 1-second expand animation. Each Space platform foundation will do the expand animation on its three exposed faces for 1 tile of length before repeating.
• When a player is in or on a space platform, they can instant-build a 2x2 tile of Space platform foundation. This can be very useful when the automatic building of a blueprint leave a 1-wide channel of tiles slowly building as it tries to not leave a hole.
• When a Space platform foundation gets destroyed, everything not connected to the Space platform hub will be destroyed.
