Base tier. Builder work excludes walking and waiting; production rates apply while working. The in-game preview shows your exact current quote.

## Make room for it.

Keep the entrance connected to the Hearth. Short paths help workers and deliveries reach their destination.

## Keep it working.

Production starts after construction finishes and an eligible resident arrives at work. The listed rate is a base working cycle, not a promise of uninterrupted output: sleep, hunger, comfort, upgrades and full storage can affect it.

## Improvements & appearance.

This building has no tier improvement in the current rules. Inspect it to see the maintenance and appearance options available in your build.

## If something seems stuck.

Inspect the building for missing workers, ingredients, storage space or project requirements before starting another job.

## Good neighbours.
