1 Extending a platform at the same height is done via the level tool. That's why I was asking if you need the platforms to be disconnected, but at the same height. 1 Extending a platform at the same height is done via the level tool.

3 Other than to place buildings on water, I can't think of a situation where the tool to place a building at say +3 positions up from the ground doesn't do what I need. For instance say I want to place a bunch of stardusts around my main base, I don't care if they're not all at the same level. I just need them to be higher than ground level at their corresponding locations so they can get extra range, so the elevation tool while placing a building works just fine there. 3 Other than to place buildings on water, I can't think of a situation where the tool to place a building at say +3 positions up from the ground doesn't do what I need.

Since it adds height relative to the level of the ground at the position, the stardusts will always be at ground + X.

5 Otherwise, if for some reason I want to create a large platform to build a base on, using level with the ALT(I think) modifier to make a square does the job of extending an existing platform at a given height. 5 Otherwise, if for some reason I want to create a large platform to build a base on, using level with the ALT(I think) modifier to make a square does the job of extending an existing platform at a given height.

7 The one case I can't easily solve right now is placing towers like faradays on water without making a needlessly high platform. More often than not, I quickly try to estimate if I'm above water or not, place 2-3 and then come back later to see if it was high enough. More often than not, I place them too high and waste a bit of metal making a faraday at say +20 instead of near 0. (Arbitrary numbers... I just mean some space above water that is beyond the minimum required). 7 The one case I can't easily solve right now is placing towers like faradays on water without making a needlessly high platform.
