Known issues/annoying things
-
[]Nothing! The mod is perfect <3 (probably not. kindly let me know about any issues you find!)
Possible issues
-
[]There is a possible performance issue when using this mod along with several others, since it does some checks on update ticks(although I've tried to keep those to a minimum).
[
]This mod has been completely untested on multiplayer, and it is likely some issues may arise(such as duplicate notifications).Mod compatibility
- []I have over 20 mods installed and noticed no issues so far, but mods that change the contents of the mines are likely to cause issues. For advanced users, things to look out for are any changes in the locations of tile index 173 in the mines tilemap and 173/174 in the desert mines tilemap(the tiles that represent ladders and shafts). Visual changes shouldn't cause issues. If monster generation is affected, this mod will probably break as well.
Roadmap
-
[]Anything under "Known issues".
[]Adding official multiplayer support.
[]MAYBE adding translation support, if someone asks.
