How to manually place stuctures in Entrenchment 1.03 + Mod: Distant Stars beta 0.82?

from Sins Forums

Evening friends,

I hope I'm in the right place to ask this:
I'm playing Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment 1.03 with the full mod: "Distant Stars Beta 0.82" and enjoy it very much!
but I can not find a way to CHOOSE where to place my stuctures!?? The game place them automatically...
if you know how to do/change that aspect, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your time and help and What A GAME!!
I only play this kind of Space Strategy Games since Ascendancy in 1995!!

It doesn't have anything to do with the mod. To the left planet/unit interface (where you build structures), their is a big (I think it's yellow but I can't remember right now) button that turns on and off automatic structure placement. You must have accidently push it sometime, and pressing it again will allow manual placement. :)

Aye it is yellow, just above the ping button. It has the shape of an infinite sign with a little polygon ontop of it. I belive there is also a hotkey that turns it on and off, but I cant remember what it is.
