Description
This collection includes mods that enhance vanilla/add new tools for exploring, farming, foraging, and mining. Balance is what I have in mind when collecting the mods, so mods that included over-powered mechs or potential of reducing the risk of playing the game (e.g. Memento Mori) is not included.
