</>What does Instant Build do?
Construction in the cult takes time. You place a blueprint, assign a follower, and then wait while they slowly hammer away at it. But what if you're an impatient cult leader with places to be and bishops to slay? Blueprint Master makes building instant. Drop a shrine? Done. Place a farm? Finished. Build a prison for your troublemakers? Already locked and loaded. No more watching followers slowly construct things while you twiddle your hooves. This is perfect for rapid base expansion, rebuilding after disasters, or just getting your cult up and running without the usual downtime. Your followers might wonder how buildings materialize out of thin air, but they're cultists — they're used to not questioning things.

</>Common questions about Instant Build
What does Instant Build do in Cult of the Lamb?
Instant Build is a ProjectMods mod for Cult of the Lamb that removes construction time from every building you place. Normally in Cult of the Lamb you drop a blueprint, assign a follower, and then wait while they slowly hammer it together. With Instant Build switched on, the moment you confirm the placement the building is finished and ready to use. Shrines, farms, prisons, decorations, kitchens, beds, outhouses, and every other buildable structure all complete instantly. There is no follower assignment step, no progress bar, and no waiting. Your cult base grows at the speed of thought instead of the speed of a hammer.
How do I turn Instant Build on or off in Cult of the Lamb?
Instant Build adds a single toggle called Instant Build Mode to the ProjectMods launcher panel for Cult of the Lamb. Flip it on before launching the game and every blueprint you place will complete the instant you confirm it. Flip it off and Cult of the Lamb returns to vanilla construction behaviour, where followers walk over and hammer at the build site over time. The toggle is global rather than per-building, so you cannot pick which structures skip construction. If you want to pace the early game normally and only speed up later expansions, just switch the toggle on and off between play sessions through ProjectMods.
Does Instant Build still require materials and resources in Cult of the Lamb?
Yes. Instant Build only changes the construction time portion of the building loop in Cult of the Lamb, not the cost. You still need to gather wood, stone, and any other ingredients the blueprint asks for, and you still need an unlocked recipe before you can place the structure. ProjectMods designed Instant Build this way on purpose so the mod feels like a quality of life shortcut rather than a full economy override. If you want infinite materials on top of instant construction, pair Instant Build with one of the resource focused Cult of the Lamb mods on ProjectMods such as a free buildings or item giver mod for a fully streamlined base building flow.
Why would I use Instant Build instead of just assigning more followers in Cult of the Lamb?
Assigning more followers in Cult of the Lamb only shaves seconds off each build, and it pulls cultists away from worship, farming, and cooking duties that keep the base healthy. Instant Build from ProjectMods skips construction completely, so you never lose follower labour to hammering. It shines during three scenarios: rapid early game expansion when you want a working base before your first crusade, post disaster cleanup when storms or dissenter attacks have flattened half your buildings, and creative redecoration runs where you keep tearing down and rebuilding to find a layout you like. It turns base building from a waiting game into a placement puzzle.
Does Instant Build work with the Relics of the Old Faith update and other Cult of the Lamb DLC content?
Instant Build hooks into the generic construction system in Cult of the Lamb rather than any specific recipe list, so it covers buildings introduced by Relics of the Old Faith, Sins of the Flesh, and the other free updates as well as the original launch buildings. Whenever Massive Monster ships a new buildable structure, Instant Build should finish it instantly the same way it finishes a basic shrine. ProjectMods tests every Cult of the Lamb mod against the current Steam build before release, and the team patches Instant Build quickly if a future update ever changes how construction is handled under the hood.
