</>What does Foreman's Stash (Spawn Materials & Tools) do?
Waiting on the delivery schedule is the slowest part of any job. Foreman's Stash puts the whole warehouse on tap: press Refresh Items to pull the list of everything the game can drop onto a site, pick what you want, set how far in front of you it should land, and press Spawn Item. Planks, beams, barrels, tools, the odd hazard, they all appear where you are looking, and because they arrive the same way the game's own deliveries do, your crewmates can pick them up and build with them straight away. The list is pulled from the game itself and is refreshed on demand, so it stays in step with updates. A note from the foreman: some entries in the list are the game's internal odds and ends, so spawn the strange ones somewhere you can walk away from.

</>Common questions about Foreman's Stash (Spawn Materials & Tools)
What does Foreman's Stash do in Dumb Ways to Build?
Foreman's Stash lets you spawn materials, tools and objects on demand in Dumb Ways to Build instead of waiting for the delivery schedule. Inside a job you press Refresh Items to load the list of everything the game can drop onto a site, pick what you want from the Item dropdown, set a Spawn Distance in metres, and press Spawn Item. The chosen piece appears in front of you where you are looking. Because spawned items arrive the same way the game's own deliveries do, your crewmates can pick them up and build with them straight away, with no mod on their side. Planks, beams, barrels, tools and the odd hazard are all on the menu.
Why is the Item dropdown empty until I press Refresh Items?
Because Foreman's Stash pulls the item list from Dumb Ways to Build itself once you are in a job, rather than shipping a fixed catalogue, and there is nothing to pull from until a job has loaded. Get onto a site, press Refresh Items, and the dropdown fills with everything the game can drop onto it. Loading the list on demand is what keeps the mod in step with updates: a new material or tool the developers add shows up on your next refresh without waiting for a new mod version, so it is worth pressing Refresh Items again after the game updates. If you spawn something and it does not appear, refresh once more and check the Spawn Distance is not sending it through a wall.
Can my crewmates use the items I spawn, or only me?
Anyone in the lobby can use them. Foreman's Stash drops items into Dumb Ways to Build the same way the game's own delivery truck does, so a beam you spawn is an ordinary beam to everyone: your crewmates can pick it up, carry it, nail it and drop it off a roof without having the mod installed themselves. That makes it a genuine crew tool rather than a private stash, and it is the reason the name is a bit of a lie. A good setup is one builder running the mod as the site foreman, spawning materials where they are needed, while the rest of the crew gets on with building. Spawn Distance controls where the drop lands so you can feed pieces straight to whoever is nailing.
What does the Spawn Distance option control?
Spawn Distance sets how many metres in front of you a spawned item lands in Dumb Ways to Build. Foreman's Stash drops the item along the direction you are looking, so a small number puts a plank at your feet ready to grab, while a larger number lobs it across a gap to a crewmate or onto a platform you cannot reach. It is worth adjusting per situation: spawn a heavy beam too close and it can land on your bean, spawn it too far and it may drop off the edge of the site. Somewhere around two to three metres is a sensible default for materials you intend to carry yourself, and the value stays put between spawns so you only set it once.
Why are some entries in the item list strange or unnamed?
Because Foreman's Stash shows you everything Dumb Ways to Build can drop onto a site, and that includes the game's internal odds and ends alongside the planks, beams and tools you actually want. Some entries are pieces the game uses for hazards or set dressing rather than things a builder is meant to hold. They are left in the list on purpose so nothing useful gets filtered out by mistake, but a few of them are unpredictable when spawned. The foreman's advice is simple: if a name looks odd, spawn it somewhere you can walk away from, at a generous Spawn Distance, and see what it does before dropping it in the middle of the crew's half-finished bridge.

System Requirements
What features does Foreman's Stash (Spawn Materials & Tools) include?
- Drops any plank, beam, barrel, tool or hazard from the game's full delivery list right in front of you.
- Sets exactly how many metres ahead the item lands, so it arrives on the scaffold instead of on your head.
- Spawns pieces your crewmates can grab and build with immediately, the same as a normal site delivery.
- Refreshes the item list on demand from inside a job, so it keeps pace with whatever the game adds.
- Includes the game's stranger odds and ends too, so pick a spot you can walk away from before spawning those.
Best For
- Crews one beam short of finishing the Skyscraper span who refuse to wait for the delivery schedule to catch up.
- Builders freestyling a structure that was never on the job plan, with every material in the game on tap.
- Streamers setting up a bit, like forty barrels at the top of the hotel stairwell, right before the crew walks in.
- Players who lost their last nail gun down the sewer and want a replacement in front of them, not a trek across the site.
- The curious type who wants to see every object the game can drop onto a site, including the odd ones it normally keeps to itself.
