+ | '''Constructions''' are buildings such as [[floor]]s, [[wall]]s, and [[stairs]]. They can be made of [[boulder]]s, [[log]]s, [[block]]s, and [[bar]]s of any solid material—including [[wood]], [[stone]], [[metal]], [[glass]], [[clay]], and even [[soap]]—and are accessible in the {{k|b}}uild-{{k|C}}onstruction menu. One exception is the [[Minecart|track stop]], found in the construction submenu even though it is a regular [[building]]. | ||
Unlike most objects accessed from the {{k|b}}uild menu, constructions are treated as inert terrain features when completed, with a few limitations as described below. Additionally, constructions can only be interacted with by loo{{k|k}}-ing at them or by pressing {{k|d}}-{{k|n}} to designate their removal. Using the {{k|q}}uery or {{k|t}}ask selection will give no information after the construction is completed, but will allow [[removal]], suspension, and an idea of the current status before the construction is complete. | Unlike most objects accessed from the {{k|b}}uild menu, constructions are treated as inert terrain features when completed, with a few limitations as described below.

However, unlike the [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s surrounding [[Mining|mined]] or [[channel]]ed spaces, constructed features cannot be smoothed, engraved, or carved into minecart tracks. In order to construct [[smoothing|smooth]] stone [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s, [[block]]s need to be used in place of raw [[stone]]. [[Wood]], [[metal]], and [[glass]] constructions are not considered either rough or smooth, but in the case of wood, building with [[block]]s will increase room value - [[metal]] [[bar]]s have the same value as metal blocks and are thus interchangeable (though blocks may be preferred to simplify resource tracking), and glass can ''only'' be used in block form. |

− | Constructions | + | Constructions are built in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) order. That means that whichever constructions are ordered first will be built last. Also, if there is a large group of constructions being built, and a new set of constructions is ordered, the constructions in progress will be ignored until the new constructions are finished. |

Constructions which have not yet been completed are technically Buildings, which permits them to be toppled by building destroyers. Once they are completed, they become map tiles, which are effectively indestructible. Constructions are generally inert, resisting [[building destroyer]]s, but will be destroyed if [[magma]] and [[water]] can interact in the square of the construction to form [[obsidian]], or in a [[cave-in]]. Building and removing a construction can change the floor it is built upon to a default value, removing things like [[engraving]]s and the "magma flow" floor above [[semi-molten rock]]. | Constructions which have not yet been completed are technically Buildings, which permits them to be toppled by building destroyers.
