Jumpstart Your tModLoader Adventures with Start with Base
Tired of spending your initial tModLoader hours painstakingly constructing your first base? The “Start with Base” mod offers a streamlined solution, generating a fully realized NPC housing structure right at the conclusion of world generation. This mod is designed for players who want to bypass the early-game building grind and dive straight into adventure, equipped with essential housing for all your NPCs, including those added by other active mods.
Customizable Base Generation
The “Start with Base” mod empowers you to personalize your starting setup. Choose from ten distinct base styles, each offering a unique aesthetic. Beyond the overall structure, you have the flexibility to dictate the primary building blocks and furniture types used. Want to make your base even more functional from the outset? The mod can optionally place biome Pylons for quick travel, simple Bed outposts for respawning, or even a hellevator to expedite your descent into the depths.
Smart NPC Integration
One of the mod’s standout features is its intelligent adaptation to your installed mods. “Start with Base” dynamically assesses the total number of NPCs provided by all your active mods and scales the generated base accordingly. This ensures that every NPC has a suitable place to call home, without any manual adjustments needed during world generation. While it handles NPC housing flawlessly, remember that you’ll still need to furnish chests and place crafting stations yourself, keeping the early-game economy and progression intact.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Automatic base generation at the end of world creation.
- Supports NPCs from all active mods, resizing the base dynamically.
- Choice of 10 different base styles.
- Customizable block and furniture materials.
- Optional placement of biome Pylons, Beds, and hellevators.
- Reduces the initial building burden, allowing for quicker gameplay.
Advanced Configuration Options
For those seeking deeper control, “Start with Base” offers robust configuration options. During world generation, simply left-click the mod logo to access a graphical interface for easy adjustments. For server administrators or advanced users, configurations can even be appended directly to the world name using a specific format, allowing for precise control over base style, furniture, and block types without needing to enter the GUI.
“Start with Base” isn’t about providing an endgame-ready fortress, but rather about providing a functional and convenient starting point. It aims to reduce the initial friction of establishing a base, allowing you to focus on exploration, combat, and the myriad of content tModLoader has to offer.
