Steampunk Starter House

PVEMediumTemplate Hammer JSON

A 615-structure starter home with practical interior space and steampunk decorative pieces from Bob's Tall Tales. Medium tier, so it is realistic to fund on an early PvE settlement without a metal economy behind you. Themed rather than functional-first: the decorative pieces come from the DLC set, so Bob's Tall Tales has to be active.

ASA only. These links cover Metal, Crystal, Oil and Obsidian on The Island; they do not establish locations on other maps or in ASE. Read the location guide for source scope and access limits, then open the filtered atlas.

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. Map markers show recorded placements, not guaranteed harvest yields or farming times.

Viking Lodge

Two complete variants of a large Viking-inspired lodge, 1,997 structures at their biggest, sharing one wood-and-stone silhouette with different interior and exterior detailing. Both are vanilla - no DLC, no mods - so they place on any PC server. Pick a variant rather than importing both: at this size a single copy already fills most of a tribe's structure allowance on official settings.

Basic Bunkhouse with Greenhouse

A 272-structure bunkhouse in stone with an attached greenhouse, sized for a small PvE tribe. One of the cheapest complete living-plus-growing setups in the library - under 300 structures, so it barely touches a structure allowance. Good as a satellite build on a farming tile rather than as a main base. Requires Bob's Tall Tales.

All-in-One Forest Hut

An 893-structure forest hut in wood and stone, combining residential space, storage and everyday crafting in a single build. All-in-one is accurate - you do not need a second structure for the first stretch of a PvE run. Stone tier means it is affordable well before metal, so it suits an early-to-mid game tribe. Requires Bob's Tall Tales.

Greek Starter House

A 1,116-structure classical residence in stone with layered rooms, terraces and decorative pieces from the Astraeos Structures mod. Called a starter house, but at over a thousand structures it is a settled home rather than a first-night shelter - build it once you have a stone-tier economy running. Needs the Astraeos Structures mod loaded.
