⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 597 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.
Simple tweak that makes decoctions more viable for alchemy builds.
Lower toxicity means you can use more decoctions simultaneously.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with the latest game version or DLCs.
No detailed description of how much decoctions are buffed — you'll need to test in-game.
Only affects decoctions, not other alchemy items, so it's a narrow tweak.
