The [[Home area]] tool is very important - colonists won't fight fires or repair objects outside the home area. Home areas can be set to auto-generate around player built objects and structures, and can be toggled via the house icon in the lower right of the screen; this setting is on by default. | The [[Home area]] tool is very important - colonists won't fight fires or repair objects outside the home area.

This is useful for preventing roof collapse when removing a building, creating greenhouses in harsh climates, poking a hole in a roof so a pawn can use a telescope without fully exposing them to the environment or walling in vulnerable solar generators without blocking out the sun. Overhead mountain roof tiles cannot be removed, but thin rock roofs can. | |
Removing an established roof is a low-priority construction job. You may want to manually compel a constructor pawn to do the job in a timely manner or cancel other higher-priority construction jobs. When removing wall-supporting roofs, make sure that the roof has been removed before the wall. This sequence is not an automatic priority. | Removing an established roof is a low-priority construction job.
