Once entered, actions are indicated on the [[User Interface|display]] by a square outline around the block, space, or [[:Category:Creature|creature]] that will be acted on. The color of the outline and the icon inside it (if any) identifies the action. The outline can be referred to as an Action Box. | |||
An icon inside an action box indicates either what [[tool]] will be used to perform the action or, in the case of [[crafting]] at a [[Crafting Surface|crafting surface]], what [[Items|item]] will be created. A hand will be displayed for removing a crafting surface or [[Harvesting|retrieving]] items no matter what tool has been selected. If there is no icon, the action is probably for the Blockhead to [[travel]] to that space. | |||
White outline action boxes are usually applied to actions for [[crafting]], [[harvesting]], and [[travel]]. | |||
Green and red outline action boxes are an indication of the effectiveness or appropriateness of the tool to be used. Appropriate tools tend to be more effective than inappropriate ones, producing results faster and often in greater quantity. It is interesting to note that all tools, even those not considered to be weapons, are "appropriate" for attacking creatures, although weapons are still more effective. | |||
