1 / 3Steampunk Base
A 1,177-structure steampunk-themed base mixing functional rooms with decorative industrial pieces from Bob's Tall Tales. Large enough to hold a full crafting setup and storage without spilling into a second building. The theming comes from the DLC structure set rather than from mods, so the only requirement is that Bob's Tall Tales is active on the server.

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.
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.
Luxurious Residential Base
A 1,731-structure residential compound built for PvE presentation - layered rooms, detailed living areas and a finished exterior rather than a functional box. Uses Bob's Tall Tales structure pieces. This is a showcase build: there is no turret geometry or soak layering in it, so treat it as a home base on a protected tile rather than a raid-ready shell.
All-in-One Argy & Anky Base
An 852-structure PvE base planned around Argentavis and Ankylosaurus access, with storage and everyday crafting built in. The dino access is what shapes it: doorways and ceiling heights are sized so an Argy can be walked inside rather than left parked outdoors. Requires Bob's Tall Tales.
