🎯 Tips & Tricks
Place the mod files in your Valheim BepInEx/plugins folder if you use BepInEx, or follow the mod manager's install instructions.
Test nesting basements in a creative world first to understand the depth limits and avoid terrain issues.
Check for compatibility with other building mods that alter terrain or piece placement.
