Rationale offers us many sorts of basis boxes:
You can add a basis box to a map in various ways. One way is to first add a reason, then change it to any type of basis box via the right-click menu. Another way is to open the Building Panel, then within the Build pane you will find a Basis sub-pane.
If you change to the Basis sub-pane you'll need to click the Explore pane to get this window back. Try switching between the two windows now.
