Setting Up a Base in Dense Mountain Forests

Setting Up a Base in Dense Mountain Forests

Building a shelter within the lush, realistic mountain landscapes of the Tectonic Mountains Add on Mod offers a secluded and scenic place to live. The mod covers high mountain peaks in natural green grass and foliage while filling slopes and ridges with dense spruce and pine forests.

Choosing a Forest Location

Begin by scouting the terrain for a suitable spot among the dense forest trees covering the mountain terrain with natural foliage growth. Look for areas near the wide valleys and flowing rivers carved between the mountain peaks, as having a water source nearby makes gathering resources and farming much easier.

When planning your base, remember that villages no longer spawn on these mountains, leaving the highlands completely untouched. You will not have to worry about nearby NPC settlements or generated roads disrupting your chosen wilderness area. Clear out a small section of the dense spruce and pine trees if needed, using the surrounding rocky peaks, high mountain overlooks, and tall green mountain ridges as natural defensive barriers. Once your shelter is built, step outside to take in the views of the winding river and distant forests that define this wild outdoor look.
