Buildings

Buildings allow the player to place their footprint on the world of Luctus. They all require a set of materials to be constructed, but may be demolished at any time with the Dismantler. Each building either provides a beneficial passive effect, such as the Fire Pit, or an active effect when interacted with, like the Tent. There are currently 7 buildings in the game.

Constructing Buildings
Building recipes can be accessed from the Buildings tab in the book by pressing B.

To construct a building, the player must perform the following actions: Buildings may be constructed almost anywhere on the map except underwater and on top of other objects, the player or holograms.
 * 1) Select the desired building recipe. This will automatically close the book and show a hologram of the building on front of the player.
 * 2) Place the hologram on the desired position. The player may rotate the hologram or cancel its placement altogether. Of note is that holograms may be placed even if the player lacks the required materials to construct it.
 * 3) Deliver the required materials to the hologram by interacting with it. The building will auto construct once all materials have been delivered. The player may cancel the building process at any time by holding the X button for a second.
