Hi Everyone! I just started Factorio and when I place 100 * 100 city block blueprints inside the map, I can't view or edit them in unexplored areas. Is there a solution for this ?

Explore them
And plave down some radars.

The problem is that I want to plan for megabase from the very beginning

You can plan for it, but you need to know the terrain to know whether the plan is valid. Do you really want to put a city block down in the middle of a large ocean?
You must have “active” radar coverage of a chunk to be able to do anything in that chunk. If you are not averse to mods, then the mod VisionRadar might serve your purposes, giving you a large viewed area. If mods are not your thing, then you have to walk around and put radars down (and feed them power) as a first step in your city block megabase planning.

Thank you very much for the replay! Vision radar solved my problem.
