The-Construct.net
The-Construct.net is the home of the Tribes 2 Construction Mod — a long-running community built around building things in game rather than fighting over them.
Construction turns Tribes 2 into something closer to a sandbox. Players place and assemble structures across a map, and the community has kept at it for years: the site carries a gallery of players’ creations and has run building contests.
Where to find them
Section titled “Where to find them”| Site and forums | the-construct.net · forums |
| Discord | discord.gg/jbxdbAm |
| IRC | #the_construct on irc.quakenet.org |
The IRC channel is the older of the two chat homes and still listed by the site. If you are not set up for IRC, the Discord is the easier way in.
Playing there
Section titled “Playing there”You need Tribes 2 and a community patch first — see Tribes 2 for the setup. The Construction Mod itself is a mod, so it changes how the game plays compared to Base or Classic.
How the mod works
Section titled “How the mod works”The modding handbook documents Construction in detail:
- Construction Mod — the overview
- Playing
- Building systems
- What it changed
- Reusable mechanisms
It also covers the variants the community built on top of it, among them Power Edition, C2K, Spirit, Metallic, Ultimate Build and ACCM.
The original wiki linked a Construction article that was never written. Anyone who knows
this mod is well placed to finally write it — see
making changes.
