-An '''Entity ghost''' is a transparent version of a placed entity, which is used as a planning tool to either map something out for future placing, or something for [[construction robot]]s to place once the materials are available through the logistics network. An entity ghost can be placed with the {{keybinding|LMB}} while holding {{keybinding|Left Shift}} while an entity is selected beforehand. Placing the ghost entity comes at no cost of the actual entity selected.
-[[Image:medium_electric_pole_ghost.png|thumb|200px|right|Ghosts of [[Medium electric pole]]s at the top row, with normally placed ones below.]]Many ghost entities at once can be created from a single [[blueprint]], depending on the layout of said blueprint. Only static structures can be placed in ghost form, so other entities such as [[robots]] or [[vehicles]] will not appear that way.
-Construction robots will place the real version of the ghost entity if the following conditions are met:
-#The materials required to build the entity are available in the [[logistic network]], and enough construction robots are free to begin the placing.
-#The materials required to build the entity are available from the player's inventory, the construction robots are available in the same way.
