The Construction Worker is used for landscaping. He can dig holes or fill up areas. To start a construction project select the type of it first at the Command Tool menu and then select the area to be worked on. Afterwards the command tool will automatically switch to the construction worker which has to be placed down adjacent to the area. You can place as many workers as you wish, as long as free Colonists are available. Multiple workers for one area will speed up construction, obviously.
- With the area selection tool left click to cancel the area selection, right click to place it.
- To avoid the command tool switching to the worker the player can hold the Alt key. Useful for placing multiple areas of the same type
- As with all other job types, left click an exiting area with the command tool to remove it (after a confirmation dialog).
