From my releases thread:

What I have observed:
Action0, property 10 ...
- bit 3: "Allow construction of the object on water" unset
- bit 5: "Do not display foundations if on a slope" unset
Effect: When building an object on a coast (sloped tile with shoreline) ...
- In TTDPatch, the object gets a foundation.
- In OpenTTD, the message is "Can't build on water".
- In OpenTTD, planting a tree on the coast tile allows an object to be built with foundations on that tile.
- In TTDPatch, a player can't plant trees on coasts.
The TTDPatch implementation would be the most desirable.
Is the OTTD implementation a bug? Is it particular to
newobjects only?
