A simple roof building mod to help secure your base.

The roof panels can be accessed to dismantle, but only from inside the base.

-To build a roof you'll need 10 planks and 30 nails. -A wooden pillar requires 1 log and 10 nails.

You will currently get all those resources back if you dismantle the item.

I've also included a step ladder in the mod to help with roof construction, the ladders will spawn in industrial areas, but they currently cannot be crafted to prevent raiding abuse.

SNAPPING

Press B while holding a kit to toggle snap mode. Press F to cycle through the snap points. Press K to focus on an object.

IMPORTANT

This is now just a roof mod as it was originally intended!! The other base parts have been moved to a new mod called Simple Base. Only roofs and pillars can be crafted. If you want to craft walls, floors, windows and doors, use the new mod:
