Values: boolean (yes/no or true/false)
Default: yes
Applicable to: BuildingTypes


After constructing a building in-game you are only allowed to place it near your existing Template:TTL. There are two flags that control this. One flag goes on the building you are placing and that flag is Template:TTL=. The other flag goes on all other Template:TTL and that is BaseNormal=. If BaseNormal=yes is set (default) on a Template:TTL then you will be able to place the new building near to it. The Template:TTL with BaseNormal=yes set is said to 'extend the acceptable base building adjaceny'.

If BaseNormal=no is set on a Template:TTL then you will not be able to place the new building near to it (unless other Template:TTL exist nearby which themselves have BaseNormal=yes set).

Because BaseNormal= defaults to yes, it was only natural that the developers would forget to add BaseNormal=no to some Template:TTL. Most obvious are two of the Template:TTL buildings; Yuri's Psychic Tower (YAPSYT) and the Allied Gap Generator (GAGAP). Both of these mistakes are corrected in the Template:TTL.
