Making things

Everything you can build, what it costs, and how to take it apart again.

Building works as SS13's sheet recipes: hold a stack of material, hold Z for the crafting wheel of what it makes (or tap Z and click), pick one, and click the tile where it should go. A see-through picture shows where it fits. It takes a moment of work (a progress bar over your head) and stops if you walk away. What you build is yours: nobody else may break it or take it apart.

Taking things apart

Right-click with the right tool to take a piece back apart for its material (only your own, or a manor's, which counts as a raid). Smashing it in a fight gives less.
