You lean back in your chair, pointing your hands towards the ceiling as you let out a long exhale. You’ve accomplished a fair amount of your goals in this playthrough. And yet, breaching through that feeling of achievement is a strange and unexpected feeling: some pieces of the experience are missing. Like the final touches of a fancy dessert, here are some great mods you can sprinkle into your playthrough that will make the game feel complete.
8Auto Doors: A True Time Saver
Whether it’s opening doors, planting and watering crops, or farming for currency, almost every game has at least some level of repetitive tasks or actions. The unfortunate truth is, these tasks and actions can really add up. Thankfully, a member of the modding community decided to address this exact issue.
Inspired by the automatic door system inTerraria, mod authorLevergraciously createdAuto Doors. Now, even if there’s a monster hot on your trail, you’ll be able to walk through as many doors as you please. Just keep in mind that you must be looking at the doors for them to automatically open.
7Placement Plus: An Organizational Revolution
If you’re a big fan of logistics oriented games likeFactoriothat allow for more robust, dynamic placement, authorKremnev8’sPlacementPlusis a mod that gets the job done.
Equipped with fully customizable keybindings, you’ll be able to place almost any item, or dig almost any hole, in lines up to seven tiles long, or with grids that measure from 2x2, all the way to 7x7. Oh, and if you’re tired of replacing ground tiles the old way, all you have to do is hold the alt key.
6Secure Attachment: For Trap Building Enthusiasts
It can be a bit disheartening to methodically plan out and build what feels like the ‘perfect’ trap for your enemies, only to see it break after a few mobs pass through it.SecureAttachment, also by Kremnev8, puts an end to that fragility, so that your traps can keep doing their job, day or night.

The next time you place a mechanism, like a drill, it will never wear;it is now completely indestructible. Need to rework your design? With a wrench, you’ll be able to move it wherever you want.
5Instant Portal Charge: Let’s Skip The Waiting
If you’re an avid user of portals, while it’s nice that they don’t require any power, waiting for them to charge can be a bit annoying. With Kremnev8’sInstant Portal Charge, that wait time is completely eliminated, making any portal you plop down completely functional almost instantaneously.
Still looking for a reason to grab this mod? Here’s a big selling point: in the base game, it takes up to 20 minutes for a portal to fully charge. On top of that, only one portal needs to be charged to be usable, meaning you can teleport to another portal that is still charging.
4Bucket Mod: For All Your Liquid Transport Needs
You might not believe this, but yet again, mod author Kremnev8 is coming to the rescue with another quality of life improvement. WithBucketMod, you’ll get two new items that will allow you to store and transport various liquids whenever and wherever you need to.
First, a bucket. Yeah, you probably saw that one coming. A regular old bucket can help you haul up to a liter of liquid. The second item, the pressurized can, is much better, capable of storing up to five liters of any liquid. Be careful though, because once you get this mod, the base game may start to ‘pail’ in comparison.
3Wormhole: For A Friend In Need
In a game with such a large, open map and so much to explore, it’s only natural that you or one of your friends eventually end up either lost, or thousands of tiles away. If you’re getting frustrated with how long it takes to reunite with your friends, it’s worth taking a look atonpath’sWormHolemod.
Once the mod is installed and you’re in a co-op session with your friends, all you have to do is open up your map, find your friend, and click on them. Keep in mind teleporting will cost you two ancient gemstones.
2Auto Fish: For Multitaskers
Fishing is a big part of the game. Although some of the things you fish up won’t be worth much, other items can be vital for progression, especially when coupled with upgraded fishing rods and better fishing spots.

While the challenge and finesse of the fishing minigame can be both fun and rewarding, what if this is your third, fourth, or fifth playthrough? What if you want to progress while watching YouTube videos? Withxiaoye97’sAutoFishmod, fishing is completely automated for you.
1Equipment Keeper: Less Gear Upkeep
Weapon and equipment degradation usually does one of two things for a game and its player base. For some, it increases immersion and adds to the role play aspect of the game. For others, it’s a tedious process that eats up resources at the end of every adventure.
If you fall into the latter camp, and find equipment upkeep a bit of a nuisance,VoidSnow’sEquipmentKeeperis exactly what you’re looking for. Lightweight and simple, this mod prevents your gear from taking a single point of damage, so you can explore to your hearts content.
