Thea 2 - Build v. 2.0603.0666

- There is no need to go over the maximum essence that a building supports;
e.g.: The Idol supports a maximum of 90 essence, anything more than 90 essence does not affect the building sub-skills;
The examples in this guide uses the best materials, going over the maximum essence a building supports.
- The essence of a craft is calculated pretty much straightforward: number of items times the essence of that item;
e.g.: The Idol of Bone in this guide has 29 bones (29 x 0.5 = 14.5) plus 1 Cosmic Seed (13.0) totaling a Idol of Bone of 27.5 essence.
- Every craft in Thea 2 needs a minimum amount of essence to craft;
e.g.: The Lumber Mill of Metal needs a minimum of 15.0 to craft, this guide shows a example with the lowest tier resources possible, totaling 13.5 essence, making it un-craftable.

*The Trading post caps the essence on 5, I see no reason to make a comparison with high tier resources.

Reason for this Guide
- Didn't want to spend my hard earned research points in vain, game description for these buildings are lacking, maybe developer intended... hard to say.
Disclaimer
- I know what variant means, its a deviation from the norm, so the normal one its not a variant, I just wrote "normal variant" cuz it look cool.
