BaseBuildingPlus Guide
For players using the BaseBuildingPlus (BBP) mod in DayZ, the mod significantly enhances the building experience with a wide variety of structures and features. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to build with this mod:
1. Gathering Materials
To begin building with BBP, players need to collect specific resources. Common materials include:
- Logs
- Planks
- Nails
- Sheet Metal
- Cement
- Sandbags
You can collect these items by chopping trees, looting construction sites, or scavenging around industrial areas.

2. Tools Required
You'll need the following tools to start constructing your base:
- Hatchet or Axe: To chop trees for logs.
- Shovel: For building foundations and posts.
- Hammer: Used for assembling walls and structures.
- Screwdriver and Wrench: To build more advanced items like gates and reinforced structures.

3. Crafting a Building Kit
A Building Kit is required to start building a structure. This can be crafted using materials like wooden logs and planks. For example:
- Fence Kit: Requires 2 wooden logs and 1 rope to craft.
- Watchtower Kit: Requires wooden logs and nails.
Once you craft a kit, you can deploy it in the location where you want to start building.
4. Building Structures
With the BaseBuildingPlus mod, you can construct various structures like walls, floors, watchtowers, and gates. After placing a Building Kit, interact with it using your Hammer or Shovel to begin the construction process.
- Walls: Can be upgraded using planks, sheet metal, and nails.
- Gates: Function like walls but include a gate mechanism that requires additional materials like a Combination Lock.
- Floors: Build floors using planks and logs to create multi-level bases.
- Stairs and Ladders: Allows players to access higher levels within the base.

5. Upgrading and Reinforcing
Once you have basic structures in place, BBP allows for reinforcing your base to make it more durable:
- Sheet Metal and Reinforced Wood can be added to walls and gates to increase their durability and protection against raids.
- Cement Mix can be used to create more advanced walls and structures that offer better protection.
6. Customization
BBP also allows players to add aesthetic and functional touches to their bases:
- Doors and Windows: You can craft custom doors and window frames that add both style and protection to your base.
- Decorations: The mod includes carpets and wallpapers for personalizing your base.
7. Raiding and Defending
With BBP, your base can be built to resist raiding by other players. To fortify your base:
- Reinforce gates and walls using stronger materials like Sheet Metal and Cement Mix.
- Combination Locks and Codelocks can be placed on gates for security.
In summary, BaseBuildingPlus adds a more intricate and rewarding base-building mechanic to DayZ, enabling players to create and fortify highly customizable structures. By gathering resources, crafting kits, and using tools effectively, players can build strongholds that will help them survive and thrive in the harsh environment of DayZ.
