3. Gain building's benefits (if any).

Just to confirm: A similar but different situation just came up in a game. I've got Architecture 3, WSG, and no corn. I want to build the building that costs WWSG and lets me pay a corn to get any action from the first four wheels. The thing is, I have no corn.

As per the order you give, I'd get the corn from the Architecture 1 benefit in step "2.", just in time to spend it on the building's effect "3.", right? I.e. I don't need to beg for corn in order to usefully build the "1 corn for any action" building?
