🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install this mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
After installing, load a save and check your settlement workbench — surplus should start accumulating immediately.
If you're on PC, make sure you have the game's script extender (F4SE) if required by other mods, though this one likely doesn't need it.
