Added a few more bits of info regarding pikmin building behavior, minor info on bridges, and what clay valves resemble while unbuilt
(Turns out they're called climbing walls, not clay walls)

'''Clay''' is a material in {{p4}} that can be used to build structures in [[area]]s and [[cave]]s. To build with clay, Pikmin must be sent to the base of a structure, from which they will walk to the [[S.S. Beagle]] and take out a single piece of clay each, with each piece of clay converted from 1 [[raw material]]. Then they will carry the clay to the site of the structure and throw the piece towards the structure. Once all necessary pieces have been delivered, the structure will glow and then harden, becoming usable by the player.

Then they will carry the clay to the site of the structure and throw the piece towards the structure. If Pikmin deliver part of the clay needed for a structure, and there are other Pikmin with the remaining clay on the way, they will wait on or by the structure; these Pikmin can be whistled back into the squad freely. If a structure doesn’t end up being completed immediately by the group of Pikmin assigned to the task, the necessary amount of those Pikmin will return to the ship to get more clay until the required amount is met. Once all necessary pieces have been delivered, the structure will glow and then harden, becoming usable by the player.

== Clay bridge ==
A '''clay bridge''' is a [[bridge]] made of clay. These allow gaps to be crossed. Clay pieces in bridges are laid in a grid, each row being made of 6 pieces, 4 as the floor and 2 as walls.

Clay bridges sit at an angle while unbuilt, and cannot be walked off the unfinished end until the bridge is finished.

A '''clay mound''' is a ramp made of clay. These allow high ledges to be ascended. Clay pieces are thrown on from the base.

A '''clay valve''' is a hexagonal valve handle made from clay. Once completed, 12 Pikmin can work together to rotate it anti-clockwise to turn off a [[sprinkler]].
