Template:Construction

Overview

A template to populate small, well-aligned tables of construction goods.

Parameters

You may elect to name the parameters explicitly (Planks=) or use them in the order specified in the table. The exception is Wood, which must be declared explicitly, but is placed at the beginning of the table.

Parameter	Type	Description
Planks	number	The number of  Planks required.
Bricks	number	The number of  Bricks required.
Fabric	number	The number of  Fabric required.
Parts	number	The number of  Parts required.
Wood	number	The number of  Wood required. This will appear at the top of the table. This must be named, like Wood=
Pipes	number	The number of  Pipes required. This must be named, like Pipes=

Examples

This table shows all possible values. {{Construction|Planks=12|Bricks=8|Fabric=4|Parts=2|Wood=10|Pipes=4}} yields:

10	Wood
12	Planks
8	Bricks
4	Fabric
2	Parts
4	Pipes

Alternatively, you do not have to name some of the parameters. {{Construction|12|8|4|2} yields the same thing:

10	Wood
12	Planks
8	Bricks
4	Fabric
2	Parts
4	Pipes

You can also mix naming and not-naming to make it easier to write when skipping over building materials. {{Construction|8|Parts=2}} yields:

8	Planks
2	Parts

Remember you need to declare the amount of Wood and Pipes explicitly. This is because {{Construction|Wood=10|Parts=3}} is much easier to read than {{Construction||||3|Wood=10}} and affords the ability to declare most construction requirements with Planks. Here's the result:

10	Wood
3	Parts

Errors

This template does not result in any errors. However, there is no use for a template called without parameters.

{{Construction}}

Yields:

(It's there, but it's a blank table.)

The template also does not prevent you from mixing both named and unnamed parameters, but the result will be whichever is defined last.

{{Construction||10|Bricks=12}}

Yields:

12

Bricks

Finally, even though no buildings currently require it, this template does permit you to display both Wood and Planks.

{{Construction|2|Wood=8}}

Yields:

8	Wood
2	Planks
