Purpose
This article explains build mode in The Walking Dead: Empires.
Assumptions Made
This article assumes players understand the information in the following articles:
Summary
Build mode allows players to modify and expand their base. This mode can be accessed by clicking the hammer in the top right of the screen or hitting B on the keyboard.
The build mode expands to a player's entire Headquarters(HQ). The higher the level of the HQ, the more buildings they can unlock.
If a player can place down an object, it will be able to be placed in the green tiles. If the tile is red, something is obstructing it from being placed down or it needs something else before being built, like needing a floor before building a wall.
The Building section allow a player to put down flooring, walls, and useful tools to help enable higher-level crafting.
Defense includes buildings made specifically for defense. Some include fencing used to keep walkers out of a HQ's main walls and bear traps that can act as a more offensive building in fighting against the hoards.
Storage allows players to make additional buildings to house items and resources when their inventory and HQ run out of space.
Players can customize their HQ with decorations to create a personalized home of their own.
Interior Furnishings are additional buildings players can build similar to decorations.
Exterior Furnishings are buildings that can be built outside of a player's base.
The NFTs section shows all of the player buildings they own as NFTs. Make sure they are bridged to GalaChain so they can be used in-game!
Once a player is ready to place down objects they can use the grid to help guide its positioning. Use the keyboard shortcut R to rotate the building if needed!
