One Click Is Enough

Gathering, smelting, and now every workshop machine stops asking for a click per swing. Hold the line, your character keeps working until the job is done, and walking away cancels with no loss of what you already produced.

• Chopping trees - one click and your axe keeps swinging until the tree falls. If you walk off mid-fell, the tree remembers how many hits are left.
• Mining rocks and clay rocks - same deal. The pick keeps swinging until the rock breaks.
• Digging the basement - pick on earth keeps digging tile by tile until the floor is dug.
• Forge smelting - drop a stack on the forge and it processes everything in 3-second iterations. Ten iron ore = five bars over fifteen seconds.
• Millstone, Distilling Machine, Weaving Loom - the rest of the workshop joins the party. Drop a stack of wheat, flour, sugar, or wool on the machine and it grinds/distills/weaves the whole pile, 3 seconds per output.

Position yourself, click once, walk away when you have enough.

Saw Machine

A new buildable machinery item in the Building Book under Machinery. Drop a log on top of the saw and one second later, 1 to 5 planks pop out on the adjacent tile.

• Three times faster than the hand saw (1s vs 3s). Pays itself off quickly if you process a lot of wood.
• Output direction depends on rotation: south-facing drops planks south, east-facing drops them east. Rotate to point the output where you want.
• One log at a time per machine. Build a row of saws if you want to parallelize.
• Build cost: 6 planks, 8 nails, 2 iron bars.

Building Book - Ghost Preview

When you click Place on Map or Roof Mode, a semi-transparent preview of the actual item snaps to whatever tile the cursor is over - RME-style. Multi-tile structures like the Millstone (2x2) or the Well (1+1) show all their companion pieces at the right offsets, so you can see the full footprint before committing. No more guessing where the corner piece lands.

Demolish Roofs (Hammer button)

The Roofs tab in the Building Book now has a Hammer button next to Roof Mode. Click it to enter demolish mode (you need a hammer in your inventory or installed in your toolbox).

Same upper-floor view as Roof Mode - the player's own floor dims so the roof tile you're hammering stands out. Click any roof, it pops with a small effect, and you get half the build materials back. Keep clicking to demolish more; right-click or ESC exits.

New Roof Style: Farm Roof

A third roof family added to the Roofs category: 16 variants built from planks + nails + clay (mix of full-cost and reduced-cost pieces for trim work). Sits next to the existing Tiled Roof and Thatched Roof tabs.

Cheaper Roof Tiles

Tiled and Thatched roof costs were rebalanced down. Both styles now cost 1-3 units per tile depending on visual mass, instead of a flat 6. Smaller trim pieces are nearly free; chunkier centerpiece tiles cost the most. Total cost of a typical roof: roughly half what it used to be.

New Weaving Loom Sprite

The Building Book points at a fresh loom sprite. Same recipe (2 wool to 1 cloth, batched now), just a new look. Old looms placed before today keep working - no need to rebuild.

Rope at Hank

Hank now stocks a basic Rope for 50 gp. Climb out of a hole, haul something up a floor - standard rope behavior.

Notes

• The hand Saw still roots you for 3 seconds per log - it's intentionally hands-on. Build the Saw Machine if you want hands-free, faster log processing.
• Cyclopedia and Wiki updated with the new behaviors, demolish button, ghost preview, Farm Roof, and the rebalanced roof costs.
