Build a House Carry Planner

The Carry Planner helps Build a House players turn vague frustration into a testable upgrade experiment. It is intentionally simple: tables you can follow mentally or on paper. A richer interactive widget can arrive later; the advice quality matters more than sliders.

Why plan carry at all?

Cash spent on the wrong category feels like the game is slow when the real issue is diagnosis. Planning forces one change at a time inside the collect → place → earn loop from Place a Brick.

Table 1 — Bottleneck chooser

Symptom you felt last cycle	Primary category	Secondary if tied
Returned with almost no bricks	Capacity	Tools (if picking up is clumsy)
Stacks were fine but walks dragged	Carry speed	Capacity (if you still underfill)
Walking fine, actions feel slow	Tools	Shop helpers (Shop)
Menus ate the session	None—habit fix	Reread Place faster
Distracted by other plots	None—focus fix	Multiplayer tips

Table 2 — Session experiment card

Copy this structure in your notes:

Field	Your entry
Date / session
Bottleneck sentence
Category to buy	Capacity / Carry speed / Tools / Shop QoL
Menu used	Upgrades (U) / Shop (Q)
One purchase made?	Yes / No
Cycles tested after	2 minimum
Felt faster?	Yes / No / Unsure
Next session plan

If “Felt faster?” is No, do not repeat the same category blindly—return to Upgrade priority.

Table 3 — Early / mid / late focus

Stage	Default focus	Avoid
Early	Capacity, then speed (Early-game)	Spreading cash everywhere
Mid	Rebalance using Table 1	Shopping every tiny cash tick
Late	Only purchases that shorten remaining completion	Vanity before finishing the house

Table 4 — Controls cheatsheet during tests

Platform	Upgrades	Shop	Settings	Place
PC	U	Q	T	Click
Mobile	HUD button	HUD button	HUD button	Tap

Details: PC controls, Mobile controls, Controls Hub.

How to run a clean test

1. Warm up with one no-spend cycle.
2. Fill Table 2.
3. Buy once.
4. Run two cycles with placement focus.
5. Mark Yes/No.
6. Either double down next session or switch category.

What this planner will not do

• Invent exact brick capacities or walk meters
• Promise leaderboard ranks (Leaderboards)
• Replace official patch notes (Updates)
• Encourage scripts (Scripts) or fake codes

Example filled card (illustrative)

Field	Example entry
Bottleneck sentence	Stacks empty halfway home
Category to buy	Capacity
Menu used	Upgrades (U)
Cycles tested after	2
Felt faster?	Yes — fewer return trips
Next session plan	Retest; if walks feel long next, try carry speed

Your numbers and feelings will differ; the structure is the point.

Plan lightly, place heavily. The planner exists to protect your cash—not to become another menu you stare at.

Using the planner after patches

If carry feel changes after an update, rewrite your personal table in one sitting: bottleneck, category, proof plan. Keep Upgrade priority and Essential tips nearby so the planner stays a decision aid—not a second game.

Planner anti-patterns

Do not fill every row before playing. Capture one bottleneck, test it, then write the next row. A living planner beats a perfect empty table.
