Impediments

As always, Impediments will restrict your building area making each settlement a puzzle! Buildings must be placed around impediments, as these can't be moved or removed. With each instance of a new Settlement the impediments will be rearranged, adding an extra layer of difficulty to organizing the settlement. However, we've got something new for Ancient Egypt! Impediments can now be removed from your settlement, using Pickaxes. Pickaxes can be found by completing the Ancient Egyptian questline, or purchased by using Diamonds. Once you have a pickaxe, open build mode, and click on the impediment you want to remove, then select if you want to use Diamonds for the removal, or one from your stock acquired from quests. Be careful, though, there are a limited number of pickaxes available both for purchase, and free in the questline.

Below are a few examples of how the impediments in the settlements looks:
