 A carpenter's hallmark ability comes with his or her two-handed axe. This axe (though not very useful in melee against experienced players) cuts through destructible buildings/objects (including many ship parts) like a hot knife through butter! To complement this ability sappers also have the 'Explosives Specialist' trait which allows them to carry explosive barrels. Overall, the combination of these two abilities makes carpenters very useful for breaching defenses.

When one clicks on a structure to build, a green outline of the structure will appear. One can rotate this outline using the scroll wheel or move its location by moving/turning the sapper itself in the desired direction. Once the green outline is in the desired location one must press left click. After this the player must hit it a certain amount of time times with a hammer to fully build it.

 '''''1b. Deconstruct (bottom left):''''' This button closes the menu and equips the player with a sledgehammer. While the sledge hammer is equiped, a player may hit sapper fortifications (including friendly ones) to break them down. After enough hits (this corresponds with the amount of hits it took to build- though unfinished builds will be taken down instantly regardless of how many hits went into them) the structure will disapear and the materials will be recycled back into the team's material count. Deconstruct does not work on earthworks and sandbags (refer to 1d. for this).
