🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod increases water scarcity, stock up on empty bottles early — they're weightless and essential for the bottling system.
Check your load order: place Water Overhaul after other water or weather mods to ensure its changes take priority.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, enable archive invalidation to avoid texture glitches.
