How to Use Build Mode

To enter Build Mode (with the mod active and the latest version of OpenMW), press B on your keyboard or hold the Back button on your controller.  
(All key bindings will be configurable in future updates.)

Starting a Settlement

- When you first enter Build Mode, you’ll need to start a settlement outdoors.  
  (This restriction can be disabled in the settings.)  
- Place a settlement marker with Left Click, then activate it and give your settlement a name.  

Building and Object Placement

- After naming your settlement, you can place items, buildings, and other objects.  
- By default:  
  • Scroll wheel rotates objects.    • Ctrl adjusts distance.    • Shift adjusts height offset.  - Press G to toggle collision/surface snapping.  - Press V to delete the currently selected object.  

Navigation and Categories

- Objects are organized by categories and subcategories.  - Use the arrow keys or D-pad to navigate into subcategories.  - Once inside, you’ll see a preview of the object you can place.  - You can also switch to overhead mode to build from an RTS-style view (outdoors only).  

Settlement Growth

- After creating a settlement and building beds, settlers will begin to arrive.  - You can also build shops[/b
