What to study

An Idea card is a recipe written as one sentence, Stack 2x Wood, 1x Stone and 1x Villager to build a House, and this frame shows why the format works: the panel, the idea card and both ingredient stacks are on the table together, the formula checkable against the piles without opening anything. Building in Stacklands is literacy, not placement: learn the sentence, make the stack. Disclosure: the trailer's narration caption crosses the lower centre of the frame (it covers no part of the panel or cards); it is the only frame in either Steam movie that shows the recipe panel. Frame at about 0:37 in the gameplay_trailer (Steam; scene-change survivor v0_0007).

Screen inventory

• selecting the blue House idea card opens its recipe as a cream panel at bottom left: IDEA: HOUSE, then the formula in plain words, Stack 2x Wood, 1x Stone and 1x Villager to build a House, and its 1-coin value beneath; the recipe is a sentence, not an icon grid
• the ingredients are already on the table in the same frame: a Stone stack three strips high, a Wood stack three strips high, the Villager card apart between them, and the House idea card itself under the cursor, panel and materials share the screen, so the formula can be checked against the piles at a glance
• the moon clock has turned pressure red: 1/2 villagers in red at top right on Moon 3, beside 0 coins and 9/20 cards, the house is not decoration, it is how the villager cap rises, and the HUD says so by colour alone
