💡 Beginner Tips

  • Look for the key in the abandoned worker's house near Mixwater Mill—it's not in the main house itself.
  • Use the interactive map upstairs to fast-travel to major locations, saving you some walking.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting anything.
