Medieval Engineers had two types of placeable objects Large Objects and Small Objects. Large objects require that a scaffold must be placed with some of the building materials then the project can be finished with a hammer and the remaining required materials. Small objects are crafted in the inventory or at the various crafting stations and can be placed onto the world.

In Survival mode, you must have unlocked the corresponding research to unlock different blocks and items. Some research overlaps so some items can be unlocked multiple ways.
