✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 401 endorsements and over 6,400 downloads.

- The perpetual core quest gives a long-term goal for endgame players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC.

- Check the workbench location in-game—it's likely at a settlement, so fast travel there to find it.
