Updated Tested
Changed in The Tempered Update

Building spends gathered materials on a placed piece. The catalog tabs are Construction, Stations, and Settlement. Piece pages now list each client cost and the game's own icon. The Field Guide's first placement is still a campfire or a workbench.

Material filter: All materials, Wood, Stone. Piece filter: Floors, Walls & openings, Roofs & stairs, Posts & railings. The underlying groups are floors (foundation and floor), walls (wall, doorway, window wall, door), roofs (roof, flat roof, stairs, gable), and supports (post and railing).

Place, rotate, salvage

The dock says Click to place, R to rotate, X to salvage, and Esc to finish. B opens the catalog. The same keys are written out on Controls.

The Field Guide’s sixth step is a campfire or a workbench, built from gathered materials. Costs and icons for structure pieces are on Buildings. Crafting places are on Stations. See also Gathering and Crafting.

What is not filled in

The Tempered Update lists workshop upgrades. This page does not describe those upgrades. Help says a town is founded by placing a Town Hall from Build, under Settlement, after a Discord login. The town rules are on Towns.

Getting Started is the seven-step loop that first asks you to place something.
