SteamWorld Build is a city-planning game set in the SteamWorld universe. Gamers have to gather resources to expand and improve their city. Right at the start, players will have plenty of space, so they might not be too worried about perfectly placing their buildings, homes, and decorations.

As players develop their city further, they will unlock more buildable items and will eventually need more space. It is perfectly common for gamers to change their minds and want to modify the placement of their builds and even some perks that they've given them. Players can edit buildings in order to change their applied mods or they can change where they're positioned on the city map, and this guide will show fans how to do both.

How to Move Buildings

Once a building has been placed in SteamWorld Build, it can be moved at any point; gamers don't have to commit to its placement, nor do they have to completely bulldoze it if they change their minds in the future. Thankfully, it's a very simple process. To change a building's location in SteamWorld Build, gamers must enter Build Mode and select the Move Tool.

Unlike buildings, quarters cannot be moved. Quarters aren't considered buildings in SteamWorld Build, as they are placed tile by tile.

Building efficiency may be reduced when players build roads or residential homes nearby, and it's in these cases in particular that this tool comes in handy.

How to Edit Buildings

On top of being moved after they've been placed, service buildings, industrial buildings, quarters, and farms can also be edited. Gamers can edit certain building types in order to apply or change item modifications.

To edit item modifications in SteamWorld Build, players must use Select Mode and select a building, farm, or quarter, and then they must press the Edit option. All available item modifications will appear, and players can select one or more depending on the type of building that they're editing.

Players can acquire more item modifications by interacting with the Train Station store. Each time a train stops by, the store will rotate and include a new selection of useful items and perks.
