Exosolar's and Babs' Beyond Base Building

What is this Mod?

There are now almost 1,000 buildable base parts in vanilla No Man's Sky! It's a dream come true!

This mod adds an extreme degree of freedom to the vanilla base-building options.

This does NOT mean the mod gives you access to all buildable parts.  You still need to learn the blueprints for each.  :)

Beyond Base Building does NOT add any new build parts to the game.

Now includes all the functionality of gBase Items, if chosen by running the Lua script:

• []Can multiply power, extraction, and storage rates by 2, 5, or 10. WARNING: Bases built with this mod cannot be uploaded for multiplayer when using 2x, 5x, or 10x multiplied rates.[/]
  • []EM Generators do not need a hotspot and produce 250 power.  Not enabled by default.  Must run Lua through ANUMSS and answer question "Choose a multiplier for Storage and Rates and EMAnywhere status" to generate custom mod file to enable.[/]

    It is fully compatible with multiplayer, co-op building, uploading, etc, because it does not add any parts, which would cause issues in multiplayer.

    ★ Beyond Basebuilding is fully Lua scripted, with script provided for easy updating and merging ★ and carries over all of the official updates and improvements offered by Hello Games plus:

    • []Most parts can be Scaled except prefab building parts, Exocraft Geobays, Mineral/Gas Extractors and Base Computer (Door attachment points bug out when scaled, and issues persist with scaled base computers and geobays).  There may be others not listed.  Be aware, scaling breaks snapping.[/]

      []Many parts can be built in a Freighter.  Exceptions  include the Base Computer, Industrial Mining parts, Vehicle Summoners and planet-based teleporter.[/]

      []Many parts can be built at a Planetary Base except the freighter teleporter and the Orbital Exocraft Materialiser[/]

      []All parts can be built above and below water[/]

      []All parts can change color and material[/]

      []All parts, which can be deleted, can be deleted without also deleting attached objects except Decals and Posters[/]

      []No build-count limits except for parts related to resources harvesting, certain terminals, beacons and message capsules (and others with limits that are hard coded into the game, as they are added or changed by Hello Games).[/]

      []Unlimited Storage Containers—This does not increase actual storage amounts: Each numbered container acts as an index to the store rather than a physical box[/]

      []Foundation, Pavings and Communications Station can be placed anywhere (not only on bare terrain)[/]

      []Non corvette parts buildable with corvettes

      Some customization of the mod is available just by running it through AMUMSS, where you'll be prompted about enabling several feature.  Even more customization can be had by editing the top portion of the Lua before processing.  See Lua usage below for link to AMUMSS install and basic usage How to.

      Disclaimer:

      This MOD makes changes to the placement and usage setting of vanilla parts.  If the MOD is removed, the vanilla settings will be restored and parts that "violate" a vanilla setting as well as those connected may go "poof".  Best practice is to regularly backup your saves for semi-painless recovery from the unexpected.
