Using Build Item At with the right _MyScriptF values lets you build Tar, Mud and Gel. If you build a normally unstable blob using this method, it sticks around instead of collapsing into babies.

EDIT: Also, you can build tarstuff on monsters and the player, which is also weird.

In 5.0.2 Build and Build Marker support all tarstuff and fluff.

Building any unstable tarstuff tiles will make it break into babies which happens at the end of the turn (so four citizens/architects can create a stable blob of tar if they are synchronized).

There might be some weird cases to check. Like I forgot to check if you can build on top of monsters (should not be possible obviously).

Generally, it works in 5.0.2. But a few issues.

It is possible to build tarstuff/fluff over monsters in 5.0.2.

There's no indicator for the tarstuff build markers either.

Finally, there's an assertion error I get if I build an unstable fluff configuration).

Both issues (building over monsters and unstable fluff asserting) have been fixed in 5.0.2.1004

Can confirm that you can on longer Build tarstuffs over monsters.

It would be nice to have markers when using the Build Marker command; perhaps use the 'inner' tarstuff arts.

(tested in 5.0.2.1004)

No assertion errors building unstable fluff in 5.0.2.1004. Can also confirm tarstuff can't be built over monsters.

In Build 5.1.0.1006 the build marker graphics for tarstuff and fluff are working correctly. Tarstuff and fluff building also appears to be working correctly as far as stable/unstable configurations are concerned.

However testing this has brought up a general issue regarding build markers vs the regular build command which I shall move to its own thread.

EDIT: no need, thread already exists. See http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=39927&page=0#400127
