Base Planner

Pick a template, or Blank and click to put down your first foundation (drag to lay out a whole rectangle). Then follow the Next step button at the top of the plan: wall it in, add a roof, and look at it in 3D.

When your walls are up, the Next step button offers Add a floor: it lays floor pieces on top and takes you up there to build walls. Copy floor up repeats the whole floor, walls and all. The tabs at the top switch between floors.

Click Add roof in the Next step button. In BBP the roof is the same piece as a floor, so a roof is just a floor with nothing built on it.

Put Stairs on a square piece and they go up to the next floor (click again to turn them). Ramps and floor hatches are under More.

Pick Wood, Metal or Concrete in the bar above the plan before you place pieces. To change pieces you've already placed, use Paint (under More) and click or drag over them.

Under More in the tool list: half walls, gates, garage doors, chain link, barbed wire, ramps, hatches and Paint.

New pieces snap to the dashed outlines next to what you've built, and can't overlap. Stairs, ramps and hatches need a square piece. Upper floors go over the floor below, so build that first.

They're the default BaseBuildingPlus 2.0 recipes, which is what Is Dead runs. Other servers can change BBP recipes, so if you play somewhere else, check with them. Costs include the kit for each piece (3 planks and 3 nails at the workbench). Open What's counted under the materials to leave kits, doors and shutters, or the flagpole out. Sizes are approximate.

Not yet. The planner covers the large pieces most bases use. Small pieces, slope walls and roofs, and pillars may come later.
