A new version of the Inventory System is available. This release includes a new structure placement feature and improves crafting.
Structure Placement
Players can now place structures from their inventory. When using an inventory item representing a structure, the player is prompted to select where to place it. The included demo lets players place an anvil. Once placed, the anvil is used to craft items.
