TLI Builder
What TLI Builder is
TLI Builder is a free, open-source planner for Torchlight: Infinite builds, available on the web and Windows. It lets players browse every talent tree, allocate nodes, and find nodes by effect. Gear planning includes a legendary catalog, affix crafting, and loadouts for gear slots. The planner also models hero traits and memories, pact spirits, slates, and conditional mechanics used in stat calculations. A live stat sheet updates the full breakdown as talents, gear, and modifiers change. Players can save multiple named builds locally, export compact share codes, or create short share links. The web and desktop versions can import TLI Compendium build JSON exports; items that cannot be mapped are skipped and listed in build notes. The application code is licensed under MIT, while game data has separate licensing terms. TLI Builder is a community tool for Torchlight: Infinite players and is unaffiliated with XD or the game.
