📋 About This Mod
Kibbles 'n BitsThe tasty treat that adds custom base objects and enhanced base building mechanics!
SPECIAL NOTE - Scaling of parts is enabled, HOWEVER the game prevents any sort of snapping with scaled parts. This is a mechanic we haven't figured out how to bypass yet.
IMPORTANT NOTES
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SAVES PRIOR TO ANY LARGE UPDATE. IF YOU SAVE WITHOUT THIS MOD OR ANY OTHER MODS THAT INCLUDE CUSTOM BASE PARTS, THOSE PARTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR SAVE FILE. THIS IS A MECHANIC THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER SADLY.
THERE WILL BE A CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER BASE BUILDING MOD (IE GUMSK'S BASE BUILDING) THAT MODIFIES THE TABLES LISTED UNDER THE "DEFAULT TABLES MODIFIED" SECTION BELOW. YOU MUST MERGE ALL BASE BUILDING MODS IN GENERAL IF YOU WANT TO COMBINE SEVERAL AT ONCE.
There are two versions of this mod:
Kibbles 'n Bytes - includes all of my base building enhancements without any custom base parts
Kibbles 'n Bits - includes all of my base building enhancements as well as all of my custom parts listed below
Please only choose one or other, not both!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 210 endorsements and over 8k downloads
- Regular updates — last updated June 2025, so it's current with the game
- Flexible options: grab the full package or just the mechanics without custom parts
⚠️ Cons
- Scaling parts breaks snapping — you'll have to eyeball alignment, which is a pain for precise builds
- Conflicts with other base building mods unless you merge them manually — extra work if you use multiple
- If you save without the mod, custom parts get wiped from your save — risky for long-term play
For 7 Days to Die builders who want more variety and advanced building options. If you're into creative base design and don't mind some manual merging, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're not comfortable with mod conflicts or if you prefer vanilla building.

- Always back up your saves before updating, and remember to keep the mod active when loading old saves.
