🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod likely modifies game files, make sure to back up your save before installing, just in case.
If you're using other gameplay mods, check if they also touch upgrade materials—conflicts could cause issues.
Test the mod in a new game or at a low level to ensure it works as expected before committing to a playthrough.
