Description:
Plan your base layout ahead of time with pixel-perfection.
  • Press F2 to start base projection. Click on a tile to set the center of the base, then click "Open List" to select a layout. Structures you build will snap to that layout.
  • You can easily return to your last layout by pressing "Apply Last".
  • Shift + Alt + click on a projection to announce what you are working on to everybody in the Bulletin tab.
  • Shift + Ctrl + Alt + click on a projection to whisper what you are working on to nearby players in the Bulletin tab.
  • Shift + double click when placing an object to automatically start placing all of them.
  • Press F4 while projecting to enter planning mode, where you can project any structure regardless of whether you can craft it or not.
  • Right click on a projection in planning mode to remove it.
  • Press F1 to save already-placed layouts.

Changes from the original:
  • English and Chinese translations improved; Korean translations added
  • Various strings updated for clarity
  • Simplified UI
  • Controls easier to use
  • Multiple bugs fixed
  • Significantly more config customizability
  • Config section now has descriptions for each feature
  • All new preset layouts

Tips:
  • You can place any structure on any projection; e.g., a fridge on a salt box projection or vice versa.
  • The center of the Advanced Base 1 preset should be on the vertical edge between 2 tiles.
  • The center of the Advanced Base 2 preset should be in the direct center of a tile.
  • If exporting a base of your own, the file can be located in C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonDon’t Starve Togetherdataunsafedata
    • It’s not actually "unsafe" like the folder name suggests, that’s just the only folder Klei allows writing files to.
  • If importing a base, place the .json file in the folder C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonDon’t Starve Togetherdata
