Base Trimmer

Base Trimmer

Tired of grass and flowers poking through your foundations and clipping into your walls Base Trimmer automatically trims the decorative plants around your buildings, so your base always looks clean and tidy. I made this mod for my girlfriend - she couldn't stand the lavender sticking up through her base, it looked messy. So the mod simply mows it all down around anything you build.

Features

- Automatically removes flowers and other decorative foliage around structures. - Cleans existing bases on load and newly placed buildings instantly. - Precise grass and lavender mask: a runtime material mask hides the dense grass and lavender exactly under your buildings. - Simple config file (radius, plant types, mask window, etc.).

Requirements

- UE4SS. - Enable mod in Options → Mod Management.

Compatibility

✔️ Singleplayer ✔️ Multiplayer - client-side, no server install required

The grass currently looks a little different from the original - I have to recreate materials and each material instance from JSON files to add the mask. I'll try to improve this in the future.

Changelog:
