Answered Building from inventory

[Jake65]

When bringing a settlement building back from inventory, a builder gets used for the 10 seconds it takes. (the builder isn't being used somewhere else)

When bringing back a 'normal' building, no builder is required.

I'm just curious why this is. Any ideas?

{the disconnect was just to give me time to take the screenshot, it doesn't effect the use or not of a builder}

...what's a "normal" building? An "event building"? Maybe buildings from the construction menu need a builder - the others do not...

Sorry, I meant non-settlement.
I'll check now with an event building and a 'construction menu' building.
The one I placed in the screenshot was a Vallorian Valo(u)r which should cover craftable buildings

Residence (construction menu):

Baroness Estrella's Masquerade (event):

Seems like only settlement buildings need a builder to return from inventory

Thanks @Romilly for making me check this properly

Most 'construction' buildings need a builder to get them out of inventory - it's listed as one of the requirements, and if you don't have a spare builder you can't place them. Magic buildings seem to be an exception.

Test drove this to be sure, you're spot on.
The residence I took the above screenshot with was magic, hence no builder. Tried it with a manu and a builder gets used.
Thank you!
