Construct

A construct is a man-made seaborne structure held up by an unyielding geoferrum frame.

Fucking drain or something

There are many types of constructs however there are a few traits that are shared among most, and sometimes all constructs.

* Every construct has an internal framework made of geoferrum that is either formed into pillars, beams or sometimes more complex masses
* Every construct has a tunnel system within it's geoferrum core that connect various rooms within. These tunnel systems can vary from a single room connected to an entrance tunnel to a complex layered system with even roughly divided areas
* Every construct belonged to a country before and some variation can thus be found on housing depending on the construct's origins. The possible countries that constructs can be are: Germany, Great Britain and Russia
* Every construct has stonebanks leaving into the sea in several directions
* Every construct has at least one station on it

* Most constructs have viaducts that reach away from the center and hold additional housing on them
* Most constructs have homes on them
* Most constructs have viaducts leading away from them Towards other constructs
* Most constructs have duplicate stations on them

* Some constructs have a small construct located nearby to them
* Some constructs have a notable shoreline around them

* Few constructs have sparse ecosystems
* Few constructs have duplicate high priority structures
* Few constructs are located in the deep sea

* No construct is completely lifeless
* No construct can be found by luck only
* No construct besides small ones should be fully explorable in a regular game session if progress is taken as the priority

## Construct Types

### Small Topiary

A small Topiary construct is the smallest of all constructs and can be recognized by it's stockier appearance. It Has a very small internal tunnel system and is generally close to the sea due to it's relatively short geoferrum stalk. It lacks many high priority structures and has a smaller amount of homes to fit a larger amount of required utility structures.

### Medium Topiary

A medium topiary construct is by far the most plentiful construct that can be found on the Sea. It has a somewhat tree like appearance with a main geoferrum stalk that has viaducts that separate from it. It includes many homes, utility buildings, stations and high priority structures. It sometimes has a defined shoreline.

### Large Topiary

A large topiary construct is by far the largest by width however it's long viaducts and tall stalk make it appear very thin and spindly. Large topiaries have lots of duplicate HPS and stations however by comparison they also have the greatest housing to utility structure ratio. These constructs are fairly common however their tall stalks make it difficult approach the almost always unsubmerged shorelines due to few existing paths.

### Small Spire

A small spire is a towering construct about as tall as a medium topiary yet most often less wide then a small topiary. This construct has few viaducts on it as most of the structures appearing on it are built directly on the stalk. Small spires have few HPS and not many stations however unlike small topiaries they have a slightly higher priority on houses over utility structures.

### Spire

A spire can be taller then a large topiary or a factory. It holds a similar shape to a small spire however it includes more high priority structures and more stations. Spires also have a few short viaducts near their top. A spire is in general fairly rare however it is often connected by many stonebanks and aqueducts.

### Small Calm

A small calm is composed of three to four constructs that are either small spires or small topiaries. These constructs are all connected by a shoreline and permanently unsubmerged stonebanks. The stonebanks sometimes have fully built or unfinished aqueducts connecting each other. The center of any calm is a desolate lake of a varying shore shape. Calms rarely have aqueducts connecting them to other constructs though they do tend to have a sizable shallow area around them.

### Calm

A calm is composed of four to six small topiaries and small spires as well as one medium topiary or regular spire. These constructs have the same sort of shoreline as a small calm and they do also posses aqueducts that connect them. The lake that can be found within a calm tends to be quite large and often depressed in comparison to the Sea level. Calms are the rarest constructs with a large empty area surrounding each one. During a dive tide a calm can appear to look like an island due to how shallow the surrounding Sea is.

### Platform

A platform construct is the second rarest kind of construct as it is rarely found rising up from the deepest parts of the Sea. A platform construct is built upon a varying amount of stalks with one near the center most often being the widest, primary one. A platform construct is about the height of a small construct however it can be as wide as a medium one. It is composed of several layers of connected viaducts and platforms that all have one or two interconnected group of structures inbetween them as well as many scattered individual structures on the surrounding area. The large groups are most often divided into the housing group and the utility group, which all hold their respective structures. These groups can rarely be merged into one though they will always have one or two HPS. These constructs have a complex tunnel system that reaches far into the sea and they often have a wet porch that can be used to explore higher depths then usual gameplay allows. Platforms never have a defined shallow bank nor a finished aqueduct connecting them to other constructs.

### Factory

Factories are fairly rare and sparsely overgrown constructs and are by far the largest individual construct in material volume. Factories look similar to perfectly radial tubes that reach far into the sky with approx 2.5 times the height of their width. They are slightly shorter then large topiaries and about as wide as a medium topiary. A factory is made of an outer shell, constructed of various housing, rare viaducts and more commercial utility structures. This shell is connected onto a solid concrete funnel via geoferrum struts with hollow space in between the two layers. The funnel most often connects to a central pillar located in the dead middle of the construct via thin viaducts and piping. The pillar descends down all the way to a bastion which is a large cup shaped cylindrical extrusion that is most often filled with water. The bastion stands upon a centrifuge that is connected into the lakebed of the water filled area that surrounds it. Factory constructs most often have one large aqueduct that connects them to some other construct and rarely smaller aqueducts that go off in other directions. Factories have a large and roughly layered tunnel system located right below the bastion that can be accessed from either inside the funnel, from the lower layers near the tiny low tide shores or the hollow area between the housing and the funnel.
