About this mod
Makes several changes to the starter base house, including adding a large slot, opening up a small one, plus more!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
So the game is a couple of years old now, and seeing that same, copy and pasted house, on 3 out of the 5 maps now has gotten old. So many people just skip the starter house with other mods due to how boring and bland it is. Well I want to fix that a bit! This mod changes the 3 (technically the same one,) starter bases for the original maps. I wanted to upgrade them all at the start, while also adding a unique identity to each of them so they can stand out from each other. This mod does 2 things for all 3 bases, and 3 things to each base making them unique. 1st off!
That may be enough for most people, but I also added a bit of a story to each house by adding different changes and facilities, ready to go for you.
- The back right slot has now been converted into a large slot! Works with all large facilities with little to no clipping! (as far as I could test)
- The master bedroom has been removed and replaced with a new facility, opening up an additional small slot!

Cascade Hills: Abandoned Survivor's Hospital
A mysterious survivor had wandered upon a fortified home, amongst the chaos of the blood plague's mist growing, they quickly ran inside. Finding a well kept home that had barely been touched during the fall. Seeing as the previous owner had left many of their prescriptions still in their med cabinet, along with the survivors knowledge of being a vet, and the cries of people needing help on the radio only drilled in what needed to be done. Soon a massive settlement was born, offering medical aid to all travelers through Cascade Hills. But prescriptions and knowledge of animals can only go so far. The Survivor left their settlement to go get more supplies, never to return. Last anyone heard from the crudely made Hospital, the roars of ferals echoed through the radios.
Premade Infirmary 2 with a premade Med Garden (needs repairs, destructible)
Removed Kitchen for additional beds (repairable and destructible)[1 extra small slot]
Storage Unit moved downstairs and refrigerated (extra food and med storage)
Meagher Valley: DIY Suburban Farmhouse
"I kid you not! I was heading towards that gun shop, you know that one not too far away from the edge of the Valley? I saw a group of people in black suits and a van start building at a nearby house in that neighborhood! Yeah the one with the big backyard! They was shooting these homemade looking doohickies and took out a couple of jugs like nothing! I was watching from a billboard and they was getting water out the ground and planting some green vegis that I never even saw during normal times! I came back a couple of days later and they was gone!... OFCOURSE I TOOK ALL THAT FOOD!" -Local Zedbait
2nd large slot in the back (making 2 large slots total)
level 2 still (It still does require knowledge of chemistry to produce anything besides water, is destructible)
Farm built on the 2nd large slot (destructible)
Drucker County: Fools Last Stand
Living out in the middle of nowhere, gunshots can be heard for miles, but on that night, it was like a thunderstorm. Everyone in the county knew the "Righteous ones." Even the deaf could hear the Groans of everyone who had to trade with them. The leader, Murphey, Would always brag about how he was 'almost' a Red Talon recruit. He gnawed on more ears than a zed ever could. Trading became slower for them however, as time went on. Some said they just didn't pull their weight, others claimed they were getting ripped off. One even said they saw him forcing his crew to build a tower, well what little crew that stayed. Red Talon always ignored him asking for 'backup.' Then that night came. Neighbors said they saw his whole base light up with power. Before they could go see what was going on, the machine guns lit up the sky. "I'll show them all!" He was heard yelling amongst the screamers. The base was raided before the sun rose.
Solar Array built on large slot (needs repairs, destructible)
Premade Workshop 2 (needs repairs, destructible)
Sniper tower 2 in the front slot ready for use
BONUS: Firesafe Storage
I tried to keep them all balanced but still unique. I do want to tackle the other 2 starter bases as well and some underpowered ones, so stay tuned!
if you have any requests or one off variants you would like to see please let me know. I had a lot of fun with this little project
THIS DOES REQUIRE A FRESH START TO TAKE FULL EFFECT. (in my testing, changing difficulty did not give the proper changes.)
