A shelter alone isn't a camp. This part added the pieces a camp is made of, and made everything in it something you can pick up and put down again.



## A build menu for the camp

Next to the shelter, the build menu gained a campfire, a bedroll, and a **stockpile zone**. Custom buildings can wait; ready-made pieces are enough to learn what a camp needs.



A stockpile zone works like in RimWorld: you drag out a rectangle of any size, and it becomes storage. Each zone decides what it accepts: berries, wood, bedrolls. One patch of ground can be the pantry and another the woodpile.



Two small fixes made placing things feel right. Zones now snap to whole grid squares (the first default zone was half a square off). And a colonist standing on the spot no longer blocks you from placing something there: they simply step aside.

## One inventory for everything

Anything a colonist can carry goes into the same inventory. Pick up the bedroll and it's in Rowan's pack; press **Place** and it goes down wherever you want it. The same inventory will hold tools, food and materials later.



## Out with the old rule builder

The camp also closed a question: with scripts in place, did the game still need the old point-and-click rule builder? No. The script does everything it did, so it went, and colonists build the camp with one plain rule.



Next: getting tired, and why a bed matters.
