Refined mesh for all (I hope) metal barrels, including fire barrels and workshop barrels. There are 2 versions:
-
[]High Quality - about 10 times bigger vertices count than original (from 300 to 3000, depending on the barrel)[/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny niche mod with a few dedicated fans (9 endorsements)
- Directly improves a common prop's appearance without extra clutter
- Recent update (July 2025) suggests some maintenance
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (9) indicates limited community testing
- Marked as 'obsolete' by the author — may be superseded by better options
- No installation instructions or compatibility notes provided
For players who notice the default metal barrels and want a slightly cleaner look without overhaul mods. Skip if you're after major visual changes or gameplay tweaks — this is purely cosmetic and quite minor.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a mesh replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager's 'install from file' option.
- Check if the mod is compatible with your game version — being marked obsolete might mean it's outdated.
- If you're using other texture mods, load order might matter; place this after larger overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
