Buildings

Buildings are useful constructions which can be built around your Sanctuary, and provide various functionalities. Buildings cost Scrap Elements to construct, and in some cases other Buildings as well. Buildings are placed used Blueprints, made in the Build section of the inventory screen.

When a Blueprint is placed, a Construction Zone will appear, and after some time will become the Building placed.

Tent
Tents cost 30 Fabric and 3 Metal to construct. Placing more Tents around your Sanctuary will increase your total Population count, allowing you to invite more Vagrants to join you.

Workbench
Workbenches cost 30 Wood and 3 Metal to construct. Placing a Workbench will allow you to construct the Grill and the Blacksmithy, more Workbenches will increase construction speed for all buildings.

Medical Tent
Medical Tents cost 45 Fabric, 20 Metal, 20 Plastic, and 10 Wood to construct. Medical Tents will save your party members upon death. Instead of being removed from the game, they will return to a Medical Tent (assuming one is available) and after a period of rest they will be available again.

Storage
Storage costs 45 Wood, 20 Fabric, 20 Cardboard, and 10 Metal to construct. Storage provides a place for Vagrants to store, share, and swap Scrap Elements, and Money, but not Items.

All Storages share the same inventory, but building more Storages will allow you to store more stuff.

Grill
A Grill costs 45 Wood, 20 Metal, 20 Cardboard, and 10 Fabric, as well as a Workbench to construct. Grills will allow you to cook Meals for your Vagrants, which restore a lot of Hunger, and some Health and Depression.

Grills will also allow you to construct Chem Labs and Bars.

Blacksmithy
A Blacksmithy costs 45 Metal, 20 Wood, 20 Cardboard, and 10 Plastic, as well as a Workbench to construct. Weapons can be constructed at a Blacksmithy. Better weapons deal more damage, and add-ons can be attached for additional effects such as Bleed and Armor Piercing.

A Blacksmithy will also allow you to construct a Freecycler.

Chem Lab
Chem Labs cost 75 Plastic, 30 Metal, 30 Wood, 15 Cardboard, and 15 Fabric, as well as a Grill to construct. Chem Labs can be used to convert Scrap Elements back and forth, at the cost of some Money.

Bar
Bars cost 75 Plastic, 30 Metal, 30 Fabric, 15 Wood, and 15 Cardboard, as well as a Grill to construct. Bars will store alcoholic Drinks, and stocked Bars will decrease the speed at which Vagrants build Depression, regardless of if they are at the Sanctuary or not.

Freecycler
Freecyclers cost 75 Metal, 30 Plastic, 30 Wood, 15 Cardboard, and 15 Fabric, as well as a Blacksmithy to construct. A Freecycler will let you create more useful Items from a bunch of Junk, including Armor and special Weapons like the Bottle Launcher.
