An hour had passed by, and Ethan surveyed the first completed residential building with satisfaction.
The structure rose from the desert sand like a testament to human determination.
Stone walls reinforced with bindings, wooden beams, and glass windows that gleamed despite the harsh environment.
Jacoub's architectural expertise had transformed basic materials into something approaching civilized housing.
This is a good residential building.
The resource expenditure had been manageable:
-> 200/100 units of wood
-> 290/100 units of stone
-> 140/100 units of sand
Still plenty left for the next building.
"Good job, everyone," Ethan announced to his exhausted construction crew. Sweat stained their clothing despite the cooling evening air, but their faces showed the satisfaction of meaningful accomplishment.
They're taking pride in the work. Excellent
"Start the next building immediately," he continued. "We need everything at Tier 2 for the territory upgrade."
