🛠️ The Ultimate Tutorial for Base Building
- This skin can be applied to almost all structure parts, making it the most fundamental way to decorate your base. Think of it as a tutorial skin—once you master the "Variant" and "Coloring (Paint)" functions here, you’ll be able to use Custom Cosmetics from other talented modders with ease, as most follow the same mechanics.
🚀 Boost Your Performance
- As your base grows larger and more complex, it can take a toll on your system. By switching your structure skins to this lightweight 20MB mod, you can improve real-time rendering performance.
- Save GPU resources for your dinosaurs!
đź’ˇ Coloring Optimization Tips
(Applies to all colorable structure mods)
- To keep your game running smoothly, I recommend the following:
- Limit your palette: Try not to use more than 5 different colors within a single base.
- Be consistent: Stick to 2–3 core colors. Even if you’re using red, ensure it is the exact same shade of red. This helps the engine batch textures more efficiently!
- (However, this won't be an big issue if you are playing in single-player or have a base in a secluded area or possess a high-end PC)

[Top Recommend Mod For Quick Tribe-Scale Construction]
[Variant Cycle Tool: Structure Custom Cosmetics) (Mod ID : 1112161)
- To keep the item count as low as possible while offering the widest variety of structure skins, I will continue to utilize the 'Variant' system extensively.
- Because of this, I highly recommend using Sandi_00's Variant Cycle Tool. It allows you to swap variants from a distance without having to approach each structure
individually—it has been a lifesaver for my large-scale builds (Huge thanks to Sandi!)
