Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the app, or put GrindstoneSkills.dll

in BepInEx/plugins. Removing the mod forgets the new skills' levels; empty and take down Animal Feeders and

Compost bins first.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.GrindstoneSkills.cfg, plus GrindstoneSkills.Finds.yml, GrindstoneSkills.MineFinds.yml,

GrindstoneSkills.Forage.yml and GrindstoneSkills.Snags.yml beside it. Every setting is described in its file and

applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player. Console: fishlog lists your catches.
