How to Instabuild and Instamine

This is a short tip to instabuild and instamine in your Stonehearth town. Get rid of glitched buildings or unreachable mine parts that still have some blocks in it!

Introduction

Hello everyone! This is a short guide on how to quickly instabuild and instamine, and can be very useful in some weird cases where buildings get stucked or part of your mine is now inaccessible.

How to Instabuild?

In the past I had some buildings that no matter if I have the items or not in my town inventory, it won’t get build. I do not like to cheat on my gameplays, but if you get into a situation where your building seems glitched, the instabuild can be your savior.

The trick is done using the game console, and can be done in a plain vanilla installation, you won’t need anything else or any custom mod. Let’s go to the steps:

• Choose the building you want to instabuild. Do this by going into the construction menu, and make sure you see the building window, that shows the name of it and the materials it still needs.
  
• Press CTRL + C. This will pop up the game console.
  
• Type “ib” in the console and press [Enter]. Make sure the building stays selected, as the instabuild command works with the currently selected building.
  
• And that should be all...

How to Instamine?

Instamining follows the same process:

• Choose the mining order that you gave to your hearthlings, the section of the mine you want to instamine. You should see a popup window for the mine order, and also you should see the section of the mine selected in yellow.
  
• Press CTRL + C. This will pop up the game console
  
• Type “im” in the console and press [Enter]... and done!

The problem with instamine is you don't get the ore you would usually get. It just deletes it.

Mmmm good question. I haven't payed attention to that. I will test this and let you know what happens in my case.

I wonder if I am the only one who experiences that ista build beds or workshops can't be used.
Does anyone else have this problem?
