What it does and how it works (RTFM)

During a configurable real-time interval, owned external studios with defense levels in the player's world space are selected for attack. If the player is near a suitable workshop, that workshop will be selected. To be a candidate workshop for attack, a workshop needs to:

(1) Owned by the player.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
