Builders' Hut
A 
Builders' Hut is a 
Building that is the primary way of employing more Builders in a 
District.
Any District Center comes with 4 slots for builders, but additional District Centers are not the proper answer to adding more builders to the district due to it effectively creating a separate district, bringing with it the complexities of actually managing a new district.
Builders
Beavers and 
Bots employed in a Builders' Hut are assigned as Builders. Builders focus on tasks that require:
- construction of Buildings
- filling up construction sites with required
Materials - reclaiming
Rubble, and 
Demolishing unwanted resources - including Natural Overhangs, 
Slopes, 
Blockages, 
Crops, 
Trees, and 
Bushes.
Range
Builders can only reach 10 tiles away from a path; the preview range for these can be revealed when selecting a Builders' Hut or District Center.
When a worksite is 
out of Builders' range, the common solution to most problems is extending 
Paths to the desired location. This may run the risk of encountering 
Exhaustion or 
running out of energy when Builders must travel longer distances and the sources to satisfy Needs are also distant from the worksite.
Builders can work at sites that are:
- adjacent;
- one block above, unless demolishing;
Iron Teeth Builders can additionally build directly above their heads only if they are working in a 
Tubeway or a 
Solid Tubeway
- any height below the Builder, to the topmost terrain closest to the Builder's feet. Sites covered with terrain cannot be reached from above.
Builders do not require a path connected to a building site's entrance to carry out their duties, as long as there is an unobstructed and near-enough pathway to it within the builder's range. This means builders from other Districts assist in construction work for sites that are also within reach of their path network.
Task Distribution
Builders carry out two kinds of tasks when constructing a Building: all available Builders will carry Materials to building sites, and one of them would be tasked at each point of the completion milestone to carry out the actual construction. This is usually the first Builder to supply enough material to reach a supply milestone, otherwise another available Builder would be summoned for the task instead.
Tasks in range of two or more Districts are split between all of them. However, the one-constructor task still stands.
Wonders
The one exception to some restrictions above applies to constructing 
Wonders, where many Builders can carry out actual construction on it at the same time. However, this will require the site to be properly connected to a District Center through a Path or other pathing means, otherwise it will be 
Unconnected and no work would be carried out. Consequently, Builders can only enter sites for constructing Wonders through the intended entrance.
