Map-design cheats usable in any game without enabling sandbox mode. Originally designed to help map designers to evaluate map gameplay by placing just enough resources at the best places.

Press F9 or a new icon at lower-left corner to open a tool panel with two action sections:

* Place virtual resource: click oil / groundwater to enter a modal placement mode. Shift+wheel changes radius, Ctrl+wheel changes quantity in 1k steps, Alt+wheel cycles resource (plain wheel still zooms the camera). Left-click places, right-click exits. Existing deposits are not modified.

* Fulfill designations: this sandbox-copy-pasta exists purely as convenience, to avoid any other mod if all you need is to place resources. Pick any dumpable material (rocks, dirt, ore, sand), or leave empty for the designation's default, and click the Fulfill button. Then click+drag a rectangle on the terrain; every dumping / leveling / mining designation whose center falls inside the rectangle is instantly realized using the selected material. Place the designators themselves with the game's normal toolbar tools first.
