📋 About This Mod
"If you too are fed up with running, jumping, killing and dying around the hot springs looking for dig sites like a lunatic this mod may be for you.
It adds 10 map markers to aviform's Fossil Mining excavation sites. You still gotta discover the sites but once you did enjoy fast travelling to them once a month to get those sweet, sweet fossils.
Doesn't require anything, not even Fossil Mining but it's kinda redundant without it."
Additional notes:
- converted to SSE format
- ESP-FE flagged
All credit goes to Rantanplan, I've only made simple conversion. Give him some kudos folks!
