Pieces are constructed instantly and nlike buildings pieces can be constructed anywhere. If you hold and drag with left mouse button pressed you can build multiple pieces in a straight line. A piece can only be placed where it has enough Support from below. If sections providing Support are destroyed or removed the supported pieces may collapse. When time is paused a piece won't collapse without Support and will be highlighted red. Pieces that are in danger of breaking will glow red as well.
You can recycle placed pieces by pressing the recycle button below the build menu and then clicking on the buildings you want recycled.
Pieces may be placed in two ways depending on the current mission.
- On Skirmish, Endless, Sandbox and Campaign city building missions pieces are constructed with resources like buildings.
- On campaign expedition and tower defense missions pieces must be obtained from caches on the map and may only be built in a limited number.
Toughness
Pieces made primarily of Stone have a Toughness rating. If there are enough pieces made primarily of stone underneath or above them the Toughness of the column will upgrade, giving it a massive increase in health and visibly changing its appearance. The health bonus can be increased further with certain improvements at the Masonry Guild.
The health multiplier provided by each Toughness rating depends on the game difficulty.
| Height | Health | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Story | Easy | Medium | Hard-Extreme | ||
| 1-3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| 4-6 | 25 | 15 | 10 | 6 | |
| 7-12 | 60 | 38 | 25 | 18 | |
| 13+ | 120 | 76 | 50 | 36 | |
Wood and Stone Pieces
Wood Pieces require less Support but their health is minimal. Their purpose is in aiding travel, either across caps or to reach the top of Stone Pieces. Wood Pieces do not require any level of Prosperity to be constructed but some must be unlocked with skills from the Book of Insight.
Stone Pieces have more health and gain Toughness but require more Support. Stone Pieces do not require any level of Prosperity to be constructed but some must be unlocked with skills from the Book of Insight.
