Individual icons can be turned on or off by clicking their tick-box. The order of the icons can be changed by dragging the ridged area on the right-hand side of the bar for that icon.

Initial availability of icons

The 'ALT mode' icon is always available. The other icons are unavailable until the player has researched Construction robotics in any game. When this research has been completed the other icons will appear in that and all future games.

Alternatively the player can enable the full set of icons at any time by using the following console command:

/unlock-shortcut-bar

Using this command will not disable achievements.
