About

NOTE: While Potable Water is the only Liquid that can be technically added to a Water Tower, you can, however, right-click Brain icon.png Brains or Lime icon.png Limes onto a Water Tower with Potable Water already in it to change its contents.

Storage Containers

Storage Containers are structures that can either store, or produces and then store, Dry Goods or Liquids. To fill or empty a Storage Containers select a Storage Vessel and right-click it on your Storage Container. Dy Good and Liquids of the same type can be combined so long as there is room in the Storage Container, but generally, Dry Goods and Liquids of differing types cannot.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
