After constructing a building in-game you are only allowed to place it near your existing {{TTL|Structures}}. There are two flags that control this.

Specifies whether or not this [[BuildingType|building type]] expands the area in which you can place further buildings. Generally, base defenses do not expand the player's build area while production buildings do.
One flag goes on the building you are placing and that flag is {{TTL|Adjacent}}<tt>=</tt>.
 
The other flag goes on all other {{TTL|BuildingTypes}} and that is <tt>BaseNormal=</tt>.
 
If <tt>BaseNormal=yes</tt> is set (default) on a {{TTL|BuildingType}} then you will be able to place the new building near to it. The {{TTL|BuildingType}} with <tt>BaseNormal=yes</tt> set is said to 'extend the acceptable base building adjaceny'.
 
  
If <tt>BaseNormal=no</tt> is set on a {{TTL|BuildingType}} then you will not be able to place the new building near to it (unless other {{TTL|BuildingTypes}} exist nearby which themselves have <tt>BaseNormal=yes</tt> set).

The distance you may place new buildings away from a building type with {{f|BaseNormal|yes}} set is determined by the new building type's {{f|Adjacent|link}} flag.
  
Because <tt>BaseNormal=</tt> defaults to yes, it was only natural that the developers would forget to add <tt>BaseNormal=no</tt> to some {{TTL|BuildingTypes}}.

Specifies whether or not this building type expands the area in which you can place further buildings. Generally, base defenses do not expand the player's build area while production buildings do.

The distance you may place new buildings away from a building type with BaseNormal=yes set is determined by the new building type's Adjacent flag.

Inconsistencies in Yuri's Revenge

It seems that the developers forgot to add BaseNormal=no to some building types that should not have had the default BaseNormal=yes. The most obvious examples of this are two of the defense buildings, Yuri's Psychic Tower (YAPSYT) and the Allied Gap Generator (GAGAP), both of which expand the player's build area whilst the Tesla Coil and the Prism Tower do not. This was corrected in the UMP.
