I pose the question: What is considered a construction and what is not? Consider the alternative; What can be built that is a building and what is not? Please categorise items on the wiki using the Category:Constructions or Category:Buildings links at the bottom of a page. --Markavian 23:02, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I agree, a clear definition is definitaly needed. --Mizipzor 23:08, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
How about that? Buildings are things which allow you to accomplish work. Constructions are things which simply provide shelter or accessibility. --JT 23:18, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
Since we have creatures with the building destroyer ability, we can see the in game separation by what they are able to destroy. VengefulDonut 10:46, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
Actually, that doesn't quite work either. The current separation seems off, though. It's strange to consider a machine component not to be a "building" while including furniture. I think it's best to limit this to what can be built but doesnt show up in the q menu. VengefulDonut 10:54, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
