# Builder

**Construct a new future for humans on Mars.**

Builders take the biggest gamble on Mars. They have to assemble the complex resource chain required to manufacture new buildings — but each time they do, they earn a chance to own that structure. Do you want to make a living, or build an empire?

**Relevant Item Types:**

1. Linear Rail 3D Printer
2. 3D Printing Robot
3. Construction Utility Vehicle
4. Ore Processing Plant
5. Cargo Rocketship
6. Crew Rocketship

**Strategic Resource Production:**

1. Construction Materials

**Appeals to:** Players who want to manage buildings.

This role focuses on Construction Materials and Building-related rewards.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thriveonmars.com/how-to-play/select-a-specialty/builder.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
