✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche pick with 86 endorsements and 8,358 downloads—community's given it a shot.
- Recent update (April 2026) means it's still being maintained, not abandoned.
- Energy weapons expansion adds variety for late-game settlers.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (86) suggests it's not widely tested—expect potential bugs.
- Only 18 workstations might feel limited for large settlements.
