so i had a dream where a group and i were magically summoning like, liquid stone and by-hand forming it into walls--this is clearly half-baked and inefficient--so how would YOU make or enhance construction processes using magic, sci-fi technology, or fictional materials?
I guess I would do something I could wrap my head around, but also very portable.
like some kind of device that deconstructs/recycles anything into anything else, but for construction materials it would make building blocks/forms out of whatever material one wanted, colored/stained etc. and some kind of universal adhesive with supreme bonding properties that could bind anything to anything in seconds when "cured" by some device, but can also be uncured through an even more deliberate action for safety reasons. the device would have preprogrammed forms / materials like insulated exterior walls, concrete, simulated wood, glass, steel/stainless, porcelain.
anyway, with that, one who could assemble lego with glue could feasibly construct anything by themselves, even.
larger communal projects more people and equipment would have larger devices capable of making larger forms, but require larger input.
the idea being that the smaller device, like would accompany them in the cargo area of a personal conveyance, and would be used by a colonist / homesteader to build a residence/outpost and all kinds of shit to adapt to anything, functionally and/or aesthetically. but it could also be used by somebody to just build, remodel, or otherwise maintain their own space.
