⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Fresh update (Feb 2026) means it's likely compatible with current game version.
- Decent community traction with 104 endorsements and 4,288 downloads.
- Adds meaningful early-game content, making otherwise useless plants valuable.
👎 Cons
- No explicit install instructions or dependencies listed—may require manual setup.
- Limited to herbalism-themed items; won't appeal if you want broader gameplay changes.
- Endorsement count is modest, so it's not a proven must-have yet.
