Description:

Ready to take your building experience up a notch? This mod adds an interface where you’ll be able to find all the buildable objects you need to create and customize buildings, making your post-apocalyptic life a little more homey.

Key Features:

Mod Options Integration: Access the Building Interface using a customizable keybind (adjustable via Mod Options ), option can be found here [raw.githubusercontent.com]. Interface opacity adjustments are made through the UI’s gear button.

Indestructible Buildables: The option to build indestructible objects, you can activate it from Sandbox-Options (server admins can toggle it from the UI settings).
Note: Only newly built objects after enabling the option will have this function.

Interaction Updates: Wall vines crafted from the Building Menu can be cut with sharp tools, similar to the vanilla ones. Architecture Plus category items that are wall decorations can be removed with a hammer, and road markings can be erased using a trowel.

Over 1500 buildable objects:

and much more

Other

Decorations: rugs, posters, graffiti
Vegetation: flower beds, hedges, flower pots, wall vines ( can be removed with something sharp, like the vanilla ones)

All items are from the vanilla game.

Frequently Asked Question:

Is it compatible with Multiplayer?

Yes! It has been extensively tested on a MP server!

Does it work on existing saves?

Absolutely! Enable it mid-save without issues. If you disable it you will lose your Military Crates!

My building isn’t recognized as an indoor space. What should I do?

For a solution, please refer to this video . And I suggest to use Fix Inside Player Building by Tchernobill

I’m missing some items in the build menu. How do I find them?

To access all available buildables, you’ll need to activate them in the Sandbox settings (in single-player you can use Change Sandbox Options (by Star)), as some are initially disabled, such as metal drums, furniture, etc.

Does it work for all game versions?

Only tested and working on the latest game version (v41.78.16).

Incompatibilities:

This mod inherits its core from More Builds by Project Sky. My mod revises object building methods and is incompatible with More Builds.

Glass items and methods to create them are sourced from Orc‘s mod Improvised Glass. Which is incompatible with this mod, because the windows are already added to the building menu.

DO NOT USE mods like More Builds, Lite, Expand, Improvised, and such. All can and will cause errors along with the Building Menu, some override vanilla files to add buildables (which is the worst thing they could do) that BM needs.

41.78+ Propane Torch Fix is unnecessary because Building Menu already let’s you modify the Blow Torch usage in the Sandbox options.

Addons:

While the Building Menu mod can run as a standalone, I recommend using it alongside other tilepacks mods for a richer experience (each addon needs the tilepack loaded before).

Be sure to load Building Menu Mod before any other addon to avoid any problems.
