> The hammer spends the materials in your inventory first, then pulls the rest from chests you can open. 📦
What it does
Place a piece with the vanilla hammer. Materials in your inventory are used first. Anything still missing comes from nearby chests.
- A closer chest you cannot open is skipped.
- Every material on the piece can be pulled, including fine wood, metal, and trophies.
- Chests in range are used nearest first. If they still cannot cover the cost, nothing is taken.
- The pull happens on the hammer click. If that click does not place the piece, the items go back to the same chests.
- Chests are left alone while the build menu is open.
