+# some transparent tiles (see Atreides Hightech Factory) should be white
 # gamefile extraction (setup/setup.z) from CD fails
 # support patch 1.06 gamefiles: DATA.R8 has more frames and currently fails to extract, also featuring new terrain with white houses and new units: grenade thrower, stealth raider icon
 # put TilesetBuilder.Export into OpenRA.Utility to call the functions directly when extracting game-files (instead of opening a GUI)
