Starter Builds

By Private117

What Are Starter Builds?

When you create a new glade, Tiny Glade loads one of several premade builds at random. These provide a little inspiration and give you something to start from instead of an entirely empty glade.

Starter builds are stored as normal Tiny Glade savegames. Once loaded, they can be edited, undone, and redone just like any other build.

Tip

For more information about how Tiny Glade saves work, see the developers' savegame documentation.

Where Are Starter Builds Stored?

Starter builds can be found in:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Tiny Glade\assets\starting-builds

The exact location of your Steam library may vary.

Can I Change Them?

Yes. Because starter builds use the normal savegame format, you can:

  • add your own starter builds
  • replace existing starter builds
  • remove starter builds you do not want to use

Starter builds do not need to follow the same naming convention as ordinary Tiny Glade saves.

If only one starter build remains in the folder, newly created glades will use that build every time.

You can use your own glades as starter builds, as well as compatible savegames obtained from other players.

Tip

Consider using a naming convention, for example 01 [NAME], for any starter builds you add yourself.

This makes it easier to distinguish your custom builds from the default starter builds if a game update restores or adds files to this folder.
