How to use the Buildings?
To use the buildings, tap on the building. You will be able to see the items that you can craft on the left side of the screen. The objects on the right side of the screen are the materials needed to craft the item.
For more information, you can tap on the '?' icon which is available on all buildings.
Since version 7.1, Hardware Stores, Sawmills, and Glass Factories have combined. Multiple Hardware Stores, Glass Houses, and Sawmills have merged into a single building. Additionally, any extra buildings the player had previously are now converted into extra slots instead of disappearing. Players can still craft the same number of items as before.
The reason why players need RC to unlock slots is that the extra buildings also cost RC in the previous version.
