📋 About This Mod
Due to multiple deaths in the family, my being in a car accident resulting in long-term injuries, and several other factors, I chose to discontinue work on the mod (as you may have noticed). I'm working with a few people to provide legacy support via patches. Thank you for your understanding.

High Resolution texture pack, Automatron and Contraptions patches are up. Large DLC patches are in progress.

Also, I've standardized the editor ID's of all relevant data to make it easier for me to modify and add things in the future. This is down here as it doesn't affect the player directly.
¹: Changes have been made only to keywords and references that were out of place or extraneous. In large development teams, things often get left for no better reason than "If it ain't broke don't fix it". But I fixed it anyways. No bugs have yet been observed from these actions on any mod I have ever made, so I'm fairly confident I know what I'm doing in this regard. If a bug is observed, it is a simple matter for me to retrieve the old data and reinsert it in a current version. Since these edits make it quicker and easier for me to deliver content to you guys, I'm willing to bet that I won't have to do that work on my confidence in my abilities.
