Blocks and base use

Use Nexus Mods listing to confirm exact file names, branches, screenshots, and update notes; then judge the MOD by the in-game parts above, not only by whether the game launches.

  • Place the blocks in a copied base, upgrade them, damage them, repair them, and restart.
  • Run the powered or interactive part through a blood-moon-style stress test if relevant.
  • Have another player interact with the block before adding it to a shared base.

Notes before use

  • Do not use one successful launch as proof that all screens are safe.
  • Public servers should state whether client UI files are allowed.
