If you forbid the item after placing it will no longer appear in the "Select Item To Display" list. Making it easier to build fences and not keep using ones already placed. Just make sure you forbid the item and not the display so you dont have a padlock appearing on everything.

This mod should be compatible with any other mods as long as they do not remove (CUT) the vanilla dwarf (mountain) civilizations (entity).

Feel free to use this resource as a dependency in your mod. If you need specific content from this set or have any compatibility requests, reach out, and I’d be happy to help with a customized resource pack.

If you used this mod and have a screenshot, please share. I would love to see it! Feel free to suggest items as long as they fit the theme of the mod and could fit a single tile (statues, monster-sized items, etc., are too big and the moving items are not supported by the modding system). As I'm not a native English speaker, if you notice any mistakes or if the meaning of a word is harsher than I intended, please let me know.

The preview pictures on the Steam page are AI-generated to give a general sense of the mod. You are more than welcome to provide better ones made by you if your heart desires ;-)
In-game graphics of items are made by me and are based on or taken from the game's graphics files.
