• Uses Harmony to extend placement and workbench behavior
• Waterproof pieces are separate prefabs and do not modify vanilla building pieces
• Pier supports are custom building pieces that automatically extend to the seabed
• Extended-range functionality is available for waterproof pieces by default
• Vanilla building pieces can optionally use extended-range functionality through configuration

Notes

• Waterproof pieces are separate prefabs and do not replace vanilla building pieces
• Pier supports automatically generate additional support sections based on water depth
• Removing the mod may leave placed waterproof pieces and pier supports unavailable or non-interactable
