Allows construction while the game is paused.
2.0.1 alpha 8 or later
Switch
Configuration file: buildwhilepaused on|off
Command line: -XB
Description
This switch allows you to build, bulldoze, click on signs and give orders while the game is paused. You should be able to do (almost) everything, in fact. However, I'm not sure if there was a reason why these things were not allowed in paused mode before. In particular, it may not work very well in multiplayer games. In single player, everything seems to work fine, though.
