Clay exploitation

The Clay Exploiter is a Building that becomes available upon researching the Knowledge Pottery.

It can harvest Clay from clay terrain tiles in its vicinity.

Clay is an important resource used in producing Pottery, constructing advanced Buildings and sustaining administrative buildings (e.g. Elders Council).

Gathering
''* Gathering tiles does not consume them over time. However, obstructing a tile with a building or Claypit annex will prevent it from being harvested by any Clay Exploitations even if they are within range''

Annexes
Once unlocked, Claypits greatly increase the yield per tile that can be achieved by Level 3+ Clay Exploitations. However, they can only be constructed on flat, uninterrupted regions of Clay that meet the space and buffer requirements.
