Base Building Mods
Base building is one of Kenshi's deepest systems and one of its fiddliest. These mods keep the depth and lose the fiddle.
Mods that expand and smooth base construction — more buildings, better placement, deeper production.
What This Covers
Base-building mods add new structures, improve placement and snapping, expand production chains, and refine the construction interface.
Compatibility
Building mods that add structures are usually safe; those that rework production can conflict with overhauls. Check notes before mixing.
Beginner Friendliness
Placement and interface improvements are beginner-friendly. Mods that add complex new production chains are better saved for experienced builders.
