About this mod Machine translation
Keep working when Alt-Tabbed in "Phantom Pallu" after cutting out the window, allowing manual workbench tasks to continue in the background.
Module introduction
Keep working when Alt-Tabbed will allow manual workbench tasks that have been started to continue after "Eidolon Pallu" loses focus. After the player presses F to start working, he can use Alt+Tab or press the Windows key to switch out; when switching back, the module will prevent Tab from opening the backpack when returning and interrupting the work.
Features
- Manual workbench tasks that have been started can be continued in the background.
- When switching back to the game, prevent the return tab from opening the backpack to interrupt the work.
- No keystrokes sent, no changes to crafting speed, saves, PAK files, paru workers or server settings.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
