💡 Beginner Tips
- After installing, press F5 in-game to open the console—if it doesn't work, check that you're not running the game with EAC (anti-cheat) enabled, as that can block console access.
- Use the console to spawn items with 'spawn [item] [count]'—great for testing builds without grinding resources.
- If you're using a mod manager like BepInEx, make sure this mod is placed in the correct plugins folder, otherwise it won't load.
