🎯 Tips & Tricks
Place the DLL in your BepInEx/plugins folder — if you don't have BepInEx installed, you'll need to set that up first.
Test the buff after activating the Elder power to see the new bonuses in your stats panel.
Since this mod tweaks a vanilla buff, it should work with most other mods, but check for conflicts if you have other Elder-related mods.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Directly improves the Elder buff's usefulness for mining and hauling
- Tiny mod, easy to install and remove without fuss
- Active author (last updated 2023) — still relevant for current game versions
👎 Cons
- Small community footprint (52 endorsements) — not widely tested
- No detailed description or patch notes — you're flying blind on exact values
- Only affects the Elder buff — if you're not using that power, this mod does nothing for you
