I accidentally disabled the click-hold terraform UI for people who had already launched with the old defaults. That was bad, and you can enable the UI again with these options.

I have actually created four terraform UIs in my search for a way to make structure terraform easy to place. Having multiple parallel UIs for one action in the default interface is pretty bad, and it is especially bad when I consider the more recently created UIs to be superior than the earlier ones. Unfortunately, current players had first learnt the worse UI. I thought I had solved this caveat by making the default only apply to new players, but apparently I was mistaken.

This loadscreen talks about the most recent UI, and it also needs editing to reflect the new default.
