</>Common questions about Instant Architect (Free Building)
What does Instant Architect do in Stationeers?
Instant Architect lets you place structures and kits in Stationeers without them being consumed, so you can build out your dream station as fast as you can point and click. Normally you spend real resources on every wall, frame, pipe, and machine, which means a lot of mining and hauling just to keep your construction kits topped up. With this mod switched on, those placements stop drawing down your materials, so you can focus on designing the base instead of feeding it. It is a clean toggle: turn it on while you are building, then flip it back off any time you want to gather and spend resources the normal way again. Instant Architect is a premium mod on ProjectMods.
What can I place without spending materials?
With Instant Architect on, the structures and kits you place in Stationeers no longer use up your materials, so the things you would normally build from construction and machine kits go down without draining your supplies. That covers the walls, frames, and pipework you lay out to shape a base, along with the machines and fixtures you kit out once the shell is up. Because it stops the placement from consuming the item, you can design an entire module, then a whole station, without stopping to mine, smelt, and haul more resources back to the site. The point is to remove the supply-run busywork so you can concentrate on the layout itself. Turn the option off and building spends resources exactly like vanilla again.
Does Instant Architect work in multiplayer?
Instant Architect works best when you are playing solo or hosting your own Stationeers world. Building is handled where the game runs its world, so as the host your placements stop consuming materials as expected. If you are a client on someone else server, the effect depends on how that session is run, which is why the mod is most reliable in your own solo saves and the co-op worlds you host. For most players that is exactly the setup they build in, so laying out a big shared station without the resource drain works fine as long as you are the one running the world. Switch the Free Building option off whenever you want to go back to building with resources like normal, whether you are hosting or playing alone.
What does the Free Building toggle do?
Free Building is the single switch that runs Instant Architect in Stationeers. Turn it on and the structures and kits you place stop using up any materials, so you can build without your supplies going down. Turn it off and construction goes right back to consuming resources exactly like vanilla, so every wall and machine again costs what it normally would. There is nothing else to configure, which keeps it straightforward: your building is either drawing on your stockpile or it is not, and you always know which mode you are in. That makes it easy to switch into a fast planning-and-placing mindset for a big project, then flip back to resource-based building when you want the normal loop of mining and spending to matter again.
When should I use Instant Architect in Stationeers?
Instant Architect shines whenever the fun for you is in the design rather than the resource run. Laying out a big new module, sketching a room before you commit real materials, or simply skipping the busywork when you already know exactly what you want to build are the classic cases. It is also handy for planning a station layout you intend to rebuild properly later, since you can try shapes and flows without spending a single kit. Because it is a clean toggle, plenty of players switch it on to block out a base quickly, then turn it back off to gather and build the ordinary way once the plan is set. Instant Architect is a premium mod on ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager for 400+ games.
