Repeal the rule “Integrity”.
In the rule “The Building”, after the bullet that begins with “Optionally, by spending 1 from any of their Materials”, add the following sub-bullet:
* * If they do so, and the Material has the Supportive Property, increase Building Stability by 25. Decrease Building Stability by 25 if the Material has the Heavy Property and the Block is not on the bottommost Level.
and after the bullet that begins with “Choose a non-Empty Block”, add the following bullets:
* If the Block that was swapped with an Empty Block contains a Material with the Heavy Property, decrease Building Stability by 25
* If the Level of the Block that was swapped with the topmost Level now contains 3 Empty Blocks, decrease Building Stability by 50
In the subrule “Building Contents” add this text:
A Block that “is, “has”, or “contains” a Material “X” is the same as describing the Block as an “X Block”, e.g. a “Wood Block” is the same as a “Block that is Wood” or “Block that contains Wood”.
In the rule “Specialisation” replace this text:
Carpenter: Change any Block in the Building to Wood
with this text:
Carpenter: Change any Block in the Building to Wood and update the Building Stability depending on the Block’s former Material, as described below:
* * Empty: increase Building Stability by 25
* * Had the Supportive Property: decrease Building Stability by 25
* * Had the Heavy Property: increase Building Stability by 25 unless the Block is on the bottommost Level
and replace this text:
Decorator: Change a non-Empty Block in the Building to the Material listed directly below it in the Building Contents table
with this text:
Decorator: Change a non-Empty Block in the Building to the Material listed directly below it in the Building Contents table and update the Building Stability depending on the Block’s new Material, as described below:
* * Has the Supportive Property: increase Building Stability by 25
* * Has the Heavy Property: decrease Building Stability by 25 unless the Block is on the bottommost Level
It’s not quite the same effect as Integrity, but it’s close enough without getting more complicated. It accomplishes the goals of making the choices of Block swapping and Material replacement more interesting.
If you think it’s still too complicated, just vote against it, no harm done.
