Electricity Bricklayer How to Play: Spawning In and Your First Builds

When you spawn into Electricity Bricklayer, one starter guide describes the starting state: your own building plot, basic materials, and a workstation. The same guide describes the first jobs as simple brick-placing tasks — fast to complete, with low payouts — where each completed structure rewards in-game currency. One rule shapes everything you place: as of Update 4.1, unanchored parts despawn after 4 minutes if they aren't anchored by then.

What you can do in your first session

Place bricks and line them up. Part snapping was fixed as of Update 4.1, and the same update added a Snap mode that snaps one part directly to another, so bricks stay lined up as you build.

Anchor what you want to keep. Unanchored parts are saved again as of Update 4.1, but they despawn after 4 minutes if they aren't anchored by then. Anchoring within that window is what makes a part stay on your plot, so anchor each part soon after you place it.

Keep the build between sessions. How to anchor parts explains why anchoring is what keeps a saved build's parts in place, and goes deeper on the despawn rule above.

Tools at your workstation

Update 4.1's official log names the tools in the game: a Trowel for cleaning cement while using the cement tool, Circle and Square cutting, a Wrench to adjust Pistons and Motors, adjustable Nail Head sizes, and a Measurement tool that can measure multiple lines at once. The game is playable on Mobile, PC, and Console.

When your own builds need shaping or cleanup, see how to cut parts.

After the first session

Once placing and anchoring feel routine, a natural next goal is a structure you design yourself — how to build a house walks through one. Carry over the habit that matters most from session one: anchor every part you want to keep before the 4-minute window closes.
