🎯 Special recommendation
**A savior for players in Soul of Steel mode! ** 🛡️
This mod is especially suitable for players who are taking on the **Soul of Steel** challenge, as it can prevent them from losing **10+ hours of game progress** due to accidental mistakes. You can configure the mod to your liking, making the gaming experience easier or more challenging by adjusting backup cooldowns.
💡 **Personal Suggestion**: Although this mod is very practical, I still recommend trying the **real Soul of Steel challenge** - no menu exit, no tricks. If you fail, be comfortable with starting over!

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.
