Usage[]
The Habitat Builder allows the player to build a variety of stationary items. It is a crucial tool for the deployment of Seabases and the customization of the interiors of Seabases.
The Habitat Builder requires a Battery to operate, and objects cannot be constructed/deconstructed if the battery is depleted.
You can also use the Habitat Builder to deconstruct structures you have placed. All raw materials will be placed in your inventory. If your inventory is currently full, you cannot complete the deconstruction.
