Each of ECS Vectors' Industries has conditions that determine where it can be built on the map.

This page describes all the possible conditions.

The conditions that apply to a particular industry are included in that industry's page.

code	Condition	Error text
00	Build within any town zone Dt < Rz0	should be built in towns
01	Build <=N tiles away from water	should be built near water
02	Build in town with >=N population	should be built in towns with more inhabitants
03	Build within N tiles of town zone 1 radius Dt < (Rz1 + N tiles)	should be built closer to town center
04	Build below snow line	can't be built in snow areas
05	Build >=N tiles from desert tile	can't be built in desert
06	Build outside town zone 1 Dt > Rz1	should be built in town suburbs
07	Build on flat land	requires flat land
08	Build on terraformed land (certain tiles must be sloped)	requires sloped land
09	Build in forest where N tiles radius are all trees (tropic) (non-tropic ECSWVForest is excepted)	should be built in forest areas
0A	Build outside towns	should be built far from towns
0B	Build >=N tiles away from tropic forest	can't be built in rain forest
0C	Build >=N tiles from same industry (same ID)	can't be built near the same industry
0D	Build >=N tiles from water	can't be built close to water
0E	Build >=N tiles from a specific industry (specified ID)	can't be built near a conflicting industry
0F	Build <=N tiles from a specific industry (specified ID)	should be built closer to the related supplying industry
10	Build >=N tiles from a specific industry (specified ID) with the same layout (N=FF FF FF FFh forces only one industry of that type on the map)	can't be built near the same industry of the same layout
11	Build >=N tiles away are desert tiles)	should be built in desert
12	Build at >=H heigh	should be built in mountains
8401	Build >=1 tile from coast	Can't construct this industry type here

Town Zones: The value is between 0 and 4, where 0 is the outermost zone of the town.

Smaller towns have fewer zones.

Roads are plain in zone 0 and 1, paved in zone 2, have trees in zone 3 and street lights in zone 4

---

Town Zones: Tz4 (street lights), Tz3 (trees on roads), Tz2 (paved roads), Tz1 (suburb), Tz0 (rural)

Radius (from town centre): Rz4, Rz3, Rz2, Rz1, Rz0

Distance of industry from town centre: Dt
