Description
FRM Small Structures
Maximize your base-building efficiency with space-saving, scaled-down versions of your favorite vanilla and DLC structures. Every variant is easily accessible by pressing the Reload key while placing the base-game structure!
> ⚠️ Important Server Admin Note: Place this mod higher in your server's load order to ensure all vanilla overrides and features function correctly.
> ℹ️ Important Player Note: DLC variants (like Bob's Tall Tales or Lost Colony) still strictly require ownership of that DLC to be used.
