📖 Overview
Building is a major creative feature in Heartopia, allowing players to design their house from the ground up.

💭 Blueprint Bubbles
A unique mechanic in Heartopia! Floating bubbles appear around the town containing random blueprints.

Look for floating, shimmering bubbles while exploring the town. They spawn in random locations daily!
💫 Popping Them
Walk up to a bubble and interact to pop it. You'll receive a random furniture blueprint!
🏪 Shop Blueprints
Blanc's Gardening Store and furniture shops also sell specific blueprints daily.

✨ Building Tips
- The "Blueprint Bubble" system encourages daily exploration - bubbles spawn in random locations!
- You can visit friends' homes to see their builds and get inspiration
- Only the plot owner can edit the structure - visitors can admire but not modify
- Some furniture items can be customized or "dyed" after crafting for personalization
- Save your designs frequently when building or decorating
