Building is how the world grows: you dig new rooms, describe them, and commit them to make them permanent. These commands need the worldbuilder or implementor role; ask an admin to grant it.

In-game, the authoritative lists are always help room and help zone (and help topics shows which topics you can see). This page mirrors them.

When you dig a room it starts as a draft: it exists and you can walk into it, but it's flagged unfinished until you commit it. Its look shows a [draft room] note. Run room commit once you're happy with it, and the room, together with its exits and the way back, becomes permanent.

• dig dir — dig a new room to the north/south/east/west and step into it.

When you dig, a two-way passage is made automatically: the way back is dug for you, so the exits work in both directions. The new room also inherits the zone of the room you dug from. It opens with a placeholder name and description. You can set those next.

• room name name — name the room
• room desc text — set the room's description (what players read on look)
• room info — show the room's id, zone, exits (with their target room ids), and draft/committed state
• room commit — make the room and its exits permanent

Zones group rooms into areas — a town, a forest, a dungeon. Every room belongs to exactly one zone.

• zone create name — create a new zone (it tells you the new zone's id)
• zone list — list every zone and how many rooms it holds
• room zone id|name — move the current room into a zone, by id or by name

room name Kitchen
room desc A cramped kitchen. A fan turns slowly on the ceiling and the linoleum floor squeaks underfoot.
room info
room commit

You dug a room to the north, named and described it, checked it over, and made it permanent. Walk south to come back; that return exit was created for you.
