6x8 Early-Game Base

PVELargeTemplate Hammer JSON

A 779-structure 6x8 early-game PvE base in stone, with room for crafting, storage and the core progression stations. Fully vanilla. The rectangular footprint is deliberate: 6x8 fits most beach and riverbank flats without terrain smoothing, which is where square designs of this size usually fail to snap.

Quantities below are the raw-material alternative to the prepared list above. Do not add the two lists together. Official processing recipes are expanded with shared demand combined before rounding to whole crafting batches; spare output is shown in Raw material equivalents. This assumes you craft the prepared materials from these recipes. Processing fuel, travel and server overrides are outside this crafting list.

Workshop Base

A 1,511-structure PvE workshop base with an integrated greenhouse, built in mixed stone, wood and metal. The layout puts crafting stations and growing space under one roof, which is what you want on a farming tile rather than a defensive one. Requires Bob's Tall Tales and the Klinger Rustic GreenHouse cosmetic mod - without both loaded the greenhouse section will not import.

PvE Lookout Base

A 1,129-structure elevated PvE base with broad sightlines and enough internal room for core crafting and storage. Height is the design: an elevated platform keeps wild spawns out of your crafting floor and gives flyers a clean landing approach. Requires the Sci-Fi Tech mod for its structure set, so confirm it is loaded before importing.

Behemoth Tek Base

A 2,000-structure Tek base laid out around a Behemoth Gateway footprint, sitting exactly on the per-template structure cap. Tek tier means every piece needs the boss-defeat engrams and Element to craft, so this is an endgame PvP build rather than a starter shell - plan the Element budget before you place it. The Behemoth footprint is what makes the count worth spending: gateways that size let a fully grown Rex or Giga walk in without a second door line.

Functional HQ with Lowered Floor

A 1,987-structure metal and Tek headquarters shipped with a separate twelve-foundation part for aligning a lowered storage floor. The alignment part is the point - a flush lowered floor is fiddly to snap by hand, and this gives you the exact foundation grid. Requires Bob's Tall Tales and the Arkitect's Paradise mod, so check both are loaded before importing.
