After constructing a building in-game you are only allowed to place it near your existing [[structures]].
'''<code>BaseNormal</code>''' controls whether or not you will be allowed to build [[adjacent]] to this [[BuildingType]], assuming you own it.

BaseNormal controls whether or not you will be allowed to build adjacent to this BuildingType, assuming you own it.

Inconsistencies in YR

Apparently, the developers forgot to add BaseNormal=no to some BuildingTypes that should not have had the default yes. Most obvious examples of this are two of the defense buildings, Yuri's Psychic Tower (YAPSYT) and the Allied Gap Generator (GAGAP) - both of them expand the player's build area, while neither the Tesla Coil nor the Prism Tower does. This was correcteded in the UMP.
