Build Menu (incl. Blueprints with preview!)

Effortlessly Construct Your Necesse Base with the Build Menu Mod

Tired of the tedious process of gathering individual items, crafting them one by one, and manually placing them to build your dream settlements in Necesse? This comprehensive mod overhauls the construction experience, introducing a simulation-style build menu that streamlines everything from basic placement to intricate blueprint creation. Say goodbye to inventory clutter and hello to intuitive, powerful building tools.

Introducing the Advanced Build Menu

At its core, this mod offers a user-friendly build menu accessible via configurable hotkeys. You can browse a categorized selection of items and tiles, allowing you to quickly find and place exactly what you need. Need to construct a large wall or a sprawling floor? Simply drag to select an area, and the mod will place multiple items or tiles simultaneously, significantly speeding up your construction efforts.

Master Blueprinting and Customization

The real magic of this mod lies in its robust blueprinting system. You can create detailed blueprints that capture everything from terrain and liquids to objects and wiring. These blueprints can be named, previewed, and even display a list of required ingredients. When pasting a blueprint, you have the option to overwrite the entire area or selectively place new items, allowing for dynamic room customization and quick layout changes.

Key features of the Build Menu mod include:

* Configurable hotkeys for easy access to building and blueprinting functions.
* Intuitive category tabs for browsing buildable items.
* Area selection for placing multiple items or tiles at once.
* Tools for moving and deleting existing structures.
* Multi-layered blueprints with toggleable elements for liquids, terrain, tiles, objects, and wiring.
* Ingredient lists and visual previews for all created blueprints.
* Flexible pasting options for blueprint placement.
* The ability to export and import blueprints for use across different saves and for trading with other players.

Seamless Progression and Mod Compatibility

Unlocking new building options is integrated with Necesse’s existing progression system. Once a relevant crafting bench is added to your settlement and its recipes are discovered, the corresponding items will appear in your build catalogue. The mod is designed to work out-of-the-box with other mods that add placeable objects, categorizing new items logically or placing them in a “no category” tab if necessary. This mod enhances your creative freedom, allowing you to focus on designing and building magnificent structures without the usual construction headaches.
