💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you extract the archive to the correct GAMEDATA\MODS folder—not the PCBANKS folder—or the mod won't load.
  • If you use other mods that edit the same files, use AMUMSS to merge them and avoid conflicts.
  • Test on a no-atmosphere planet after installing to confirm the dust and fog are gone.
