- Permissions and credits
This mod increases the material cost required to build base structures in No Man's Sky. It’s designed for players who want base-building to feel more deliberate, resource-driven, and strategic — where every room and wall matters.
Depending on the version you download, build costs are increased by x2, x5, x10, all the way up to x100 – choose your level of construction challenge.

🔥 Choose Your Challenge Level
Each version of the mod applies a different multiplier to base part costs:
- 🟢 x2 – Slightly more expensive
- 🟡 x3 (x2 for structures) – thanks to RYUchan for the idea
- 🟡 x4 (x2 for structures) – thanks to RYUchan for the idea
- 🟡 x5 – More planning required
- 🟠 x10 – Build with intent
- 🔴 x20 – Think before you place
- 🔴 x50 – Industrial effort needed
- 🟥 x100 – True hardcore base-building
🧱 What’s affected:
- The Amount value in each buildable base part's material requirements
- Construction pacing and resource consumption
- Every wall, floor, room, and decorative element in your base
❌ What’s not affected:
- Tech installation or upgrades
- Product crafting or recipes
- Suit or hazard protection systems
- Exocraft modules or freighter components
- Blueprint unlock costs
The goal is to slow down fast expansion and reward careful base-building. With higher costs, your base becomes a true accomplishment — not just a few clicks.
