🛠️ Installation Guide

Choose the most suitable installation method according to your needs:

**🔧 Standard installation (recommended)**

• Extract the downloaded file to any location on your computer.
• Find your game directory (usually something like `C:\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\`) and back up the following two files in the `localization` folder:
• `english.loc`
• `miscellaneous.string_table.xml`
• Replace them with the new files provided by the mod.
• Done! Launch the game and enjoy.

**🔩DIY installation (using localization tools)**

• Unzip the file.
• Back up the `miscellaneous.string_table.xml` file in the game `localization` folder.
• Copy the module’s new `miscellaneous.string_table.xml` file to the `localization` folder and overwrite it.
• Run the `localization.exe` program in the `DarkestDungeon\_windows` directory and it will automatically integrate the changes into the game.
• Done!

**🧩 Manual modification (resolve module conflicts)**

If the above method conflicts with another mod you like, you can manually edit your `miscellaneous.string_table.xml` file.

• Open the file using a text editor (such as Notepad++).
• Use **Ctrl + F** to search and replace the following three sets of entries:

**Dungeon Backpack Description:**

• Replace the original entry with a new entry containing `(Upgrades:...)` to clearly indicate the upgrade target building.

**Game Encyclopedia entry:**

• Modify the description of the entry corresponding to the heirloom to clearly indicate the specific building to be upgraded (such as Abbey, Sanitarium, Tavern, Guild, etc.).

**Town interface tooltip:**

• Modify the prompt text of the town resource column, replacing the general "used to upgrade town buildings" with a specific building list.

• Save the file and run `localization.exe`.
• Done!

**✨ Tip**: The complete original code and replacement code are provided in the module description for you to copy and paste directly.
