GAE/Self building

Self building is a method of letting a building construct itself, once its foundations are laid, without the need for a worker-style unit to repair or build.

Elements

Build self skills and commands work largely like the regular be-built skill and generic commands. However, note the type elements as well as the difference between the type value attributes ("build_self" in the skill, "build-self" in the command).

display

Whether or not to display an button to perform this self building. If false, it will be done automatically, but always last priority (bottom of the queue).
