Minimal Building Menu

Minimizing this UI allows us to better observe the overall view and think about how to design our cozy little house.

  • Collapsible Window: (1) The recipe details panel is only displayed when the mouse is hovering over the panel.
    (2) After double-clicking to build, the panel will collapse and only the category panel will remain. Hovering the mouse over the category panel will reopen the recipe list to choose a new building to construct.
  • Recipe Stacking: All similar or advanced-design recipes are included in stacking groups (the building that can be constructed will be prioritized within the group).
  • The recipe info panel is made transparent to give you more visibility.

More Buildings / Better Categories / More Complete Icons

  • Better Categories: Buildings are now categorized by type rather than by skill.
  • More Complete Icons: Added icons that were missing in the base game so you can more clearly know what each building is (currently, the icons used are not the same 48x pixel icons as in the game; due to the large workload, I will gradually rebuild these icons when I have time).
  • More Buildings: Because the original game provides very few building types, I added some extra buildings. However, since this part of the work takes a lot of time, there aren’t many extra buildings yet. I will prioritize adding more buildings in future updates, and you can also tell me what buildings you would like to see.

Gamepad Support

Gamepad support won’t be added anytime soon. I’ll wait until I’ve finished all UI redesigns, then buy my first gamepad and start learning its interaction logic. If you're a controller player, unfortunately this mod won’t meet your needs just yet , please give me some time.


MOD Conflicts

[B42] Buildables Expansion may have modified some of the same files. It is currently known to conflict with this mod. Once the exact cause is identified, I will try to make it compatible with my mod as soon as possible.
