Building and Programming Constructs

Crafting Construct Parts

Constructs are assembled from modular pieces. You need a Construct Gantry as the base, plus a torso and arms. Torsos come in Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian, and Bone variants (Construct Armor Torso Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian, Bone). Arms come in matching materials, with left and right variants such as Construct Axe Arm Left Wood and Construct Axe Arm Right Diamond.

Assembling a Construct

Place the Construct Gantry, then attach a torso and a pair of arms. Higher-tier materials (Diamond, Obsidian) give tougher, stronger constructs; Wood and Stone are cheap starter options. Bone parts are lighter but fragile. Once assembled, the construct activates and follows its programmed behavior.

Repair and Maintenance

Constructs take damage in combat and from falls. Use a Construct Repair Kit to restore a damaged construct without rebuilding it. Keep spare kits in a nearby chest. If a construct is destroyed, its parts are lost, so retrieve it before it dies.

Commanding Your Construct

Use the Bell of Bidding to issue commands and recall constructs to your position. Constructs can guard an area, follow you, or attack nearby hostiles depending on how you direct them. Pair a construct with an Arcane Sentry for static defense. For mobile work, keep the construct following you and let it engage threats while you cast spells.
