If the owner of a building has enough fuel to do so, they may make that building "in use" by announcing "Activate (name of building)" in <#720657721371918397>.

It remains in use until its owner announces "Deactivate (name of building)", or they have insufficient fuel to power it for the next hour.with > Buildings may have a power cost in fuel.
