📋 About This Mod
There once was a mod called Easy Base Building. The author made it for 2. 12, updated it for 2. 13 and then disappeared. He does not respond to PM's and you can't even post on his mod. His mod has been broken since 2. 14. I made a new version of the mod using AMUMSS and Lua. If XenonSurf ever resurfaces and objects to this mod, I'll remove it. I'll eventually post a Lua again, but at present, I'm hand editing the EXML from diffs I make from my NMSMB builds.
Now that that's out of the way, this is Better Base Sites. If you buy/trade for a Planetary Chart for a Secure Site of Interest (the top option in trading with the Cartographer), it now has a chance of locating a Habitable (or Planetary) Base. This base site is a large flat area with a base computer installed in the center. Just walk up to it and claim the site. The mod also adds a waypoint to the site.
✅ Updated for Worlds Part II
✅ Patch mod - likely to work well with other Patch and Overwrite mods
Contains the following files:
\METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\REWARDTABLE. EXML
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ENVIRONMENT\PLANETBUILDINGTABLE. EXML
\METADATA\SIMULATION\SCANNING\SCANEVENTTABLEPLANET. EXML
Better Base Sites is a patch mod for No Man's Sky that makes Planetary Charts for Secure Sites of Interest locate habitable base sites with a base computer, updated for Worlds Part II. It's a community revival of an abandoned mod, offering a flat area with a waypoint for easy claiming.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Revives a beloved feature from an abandoned mod, keeping the community's base-building dreams alive.
- 358 endorsements and 10,679 downloads show it's trusted and widely used.
- Patch mod approach means it's less likely to conflict with other mods, so you can stack it with your favorites.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Secure Site charts, so you'll still need to buy those from the Cartographer—no freebies.
- Author mentions hand-editing EXML, which might be fragile if the game updates again.
- No explicit instructions on installation or compatibility with other mods beyond the patch note.
For No Man's Sky builders who are tired of hunting for flat terrain and want a quick, reliable way to find a base site. Perfect for players who miss the old Easy Base Building mod and want a modern replacement. Skip if you prefer exploring and don't mind the grind of finding your own spot.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a patch mod, place it in your MODS folder and let AMUMSS handle the merging—no need to edit files manually.
- Make sure you have the latest version of the game (Worlds Part II) installed, as the mod is updated for that.
- When buying charts from the Cartographer, pick the top option (Secure Site of Interest) to trigger the base site chance.
