You need to edit/add ZShapePointMove= on the buildings art code.

wow i have never seen a buildup animation so big that it bugs out the depth and makes the animation clip.

usually you can fix that kind of problem by playing with the z adjust entries of an animation in art.ini, but
buildup anims have oldschool (hardcoded) handling hence them not having art code nor entries in the rules
animlist.

you could try and manually declare the buildup anim in rules and then write an art entry for it with an adjusted
zadjust and see if that works. otherwise, it cant be fixed in code.

zshapepointmove= is used when the building image itself clips, usually as a result of a building bib shifting the
actual building drawpoint down a few cells.

Did you try pushing the canvas a little up by using SHP Builder, that is, leave some empty space at the bottom?

Doesn't apply to anims.

Also if he didn't have whitespace below the buildup it wouldn't be centered correctly, so it's not that.

I think this is just a case where the anim canvas is just too large for buildingz.sha? The solution may be to download one of the enlarged versions.

no the building will stay centered correctly if you enlarge the canvas on the y axis as long as you
enlarge the canvas proportionately in the up and down direction, which is no object to do if he is
rendering with blender.

but the game draws the shp starting not at the canvas bottom but at the bottommost visible
pixel, so enlarging it and then placing a single pixel at the bottom of the canvas is a potential
solution though a bit inelegant of a fix.
