====== Builder’s Hut ======

The Builder is the most vital worker in your colony—they construct all other buildings and must be the **first hut built**. Without a Builder’s Hut, no other construction can occur. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

==== Overview ====
Build your Builder’s Hut using the Build Tool, and assign a Builder (either automatic or manual via the Town Hall). The first task is constructing their own hut. The Builder will request materials—check the Resource Scroll or the “Required Resources” tab in the GUI for missing items. Once built, the Builder can construct or upgrade any building **up to the level of the Builder’s Hut**. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

==== Hints & Tips ====
  * Place the Builder’s Hut centrally to minimize travel time between build sites. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}  
  * The Builder must complete one build task at a time and won’t begin a new one until the current is finished. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}  
  * If you cancel and reassign a build from the Town Hall, the Builder resumes where they left off. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}  
  * When removing blocks during construction, the Builder stores them in their inventory. Any leftovers are returned to the Builder’s Hut inventory at project end. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
