Core Keeper: Map, Bosses, Mods

Core Keeper offers a huge world full of dangers, secrets and challenges, especially with the amount of mods that can be implemented in the game.

Core Keeper Mods: How to Customize the Game

Mods are essential in Core Keeper if you want to tailor the gaming experience to your needs. They expand the functions of the game and can save you valuable time in everyday life or make the game more challenging.

  • Installing mods with BepInEx: To use mods, you need to install the BepInEx loader. This is a framework for Unity-based games like Core Keeper. Download the latest version of BepInEx and unpack it into your game's directory (usually under steamapps/common/Core Keeper). After the game has been started, BepInEx creates the necessary folder structures. The mods themselves go into the BepInEx/plugins folder.
  • Useful mods for beginners: The “Better Map” mod is particularly recommended, as it significantly improves the map display and ensures that you can find important resources and enemies more quickly. The “Minimap Tweaks” mod also ensures better orientation by displaying additional icons on the minimap.
  • Mods for more comfort: With “Inventory Stack Size” you can increase the stack size of items. This means you have to return to base less often on longer exploration tours. Another helpful mod is “AutoPlant”, which allows you to plant plants automatically, making your farm more efficient.
  • Note updates and compatibility: Make sure your mods are compatible with the current version of the game and with each other. Regular updates of BepInEx and the mods themselves prevent crashes and bugs.

Map and Bosses in Core Keeper: Strategies for the Toughest Fights

The map in Core Keeper is large and diverse, from dark caves to sprawling biomes. Exploring them requires patience, and each progress is rewarded with new challenges. But the bosses should not be underestimated either and require good preparation.

  • Plan map exploration: When exploring the procedurally generated world, it is important to always take enough torches with you. Mark important places, such as resource sources or interesting structures, so you can return to them later. An efficient strategy is to build a rail through the central areas to quickly travel between the base and distant areas.
  • Locate bosses: The bosses like Glurch and Ghorm have fixed spawn points based on special shrines or distinctive terrain formations. Use the map to discover these locations early and build a base nearby so you can quickly get back into the fight in the event of defeat.
  • All bosses at a glance: There are several challenging bosses in Core Keeper, each requiring specific tactics. Glurch, the Abominable Mass Murderer, is a giant slime whose slow but powerful jumps deal area damage – constant movement and close combat help here. Ghorm, the Devourer, a fast worm, follows solid tunnels and is best attacked with ranged weapons. The Punisher is a fire mage who should be fought from a distance using fire spells. Ivy, the Poison Queen, uses poison and summons spiders – healing potions and distance are important here. Igneous, the Glowing Mass, is a fiery boss that requires fire resistance and ranged attacks.
  • Tactics: Mobility and Positioning: Against many bosses, it is advisable not to rely solely on brute strength. Use the environment to your advantage, such as laying traps or using natural barriers to slow down the boss. Creating temporary bases with beds and workbenches near boss spots can also be crucial.
