In contrast to the base building feature in Fallout 4, the outpost building in Starfield leaves much to be desired. While ship combat and customization take center stage in this space game, Bethesda prioritized a comprehensive approach to the new mechanic. However, for those who, like me, desired an improved outpost and base building experience, the Starfield mod B.A.S.E (Building Advanced Space Encampments) is the solution.
Developed by ‘LixZg,’ this mod significantly enhances your creative freedom in base construction within the Bethesda RPG game. According to the creator, “You can now build an actual building, from the foundation as a base floor, with individual wall pieces, windows, stairs, floors, and roof.” Importantly, these additions seamlessly integrate into the pre-existing Bethesda Starfield outpost building mechanic.
The B.A.S.E mod, demonstrated at the three-minute mark in ‘AZZATRU’s’ video, operates similarly to Fallout 4’s mechanic. A large concrete foundation provides a flat space where users can place individual pieces, including stairs, various wall types, doorways, and more structures that will be added to the mod in the future.
Additionally, floor and roof tiles can be easily placed, and all of Starfield’s furniture is compatible. LixZg assures users that their items should snap together seamlessly. However, they note that incorporating other mods for additional items may pose some challenges in achieving smooth compatibility.
The Starfield B.A.S.E. mod, available for download, promises further enhancements from LixZg over time, including complete catwalks, additional staircase variations, more angular and circular pieces, and even prefabs—allowing players to create and save their objects in the game.
