SmartCrafters replaces (remaps) several of Ark's Vanilla crafting structures with similar, configurable ones.

This mod is clean but not entirely stackable. If you use other mods that add engrams to vanilla structures, in order for those engrams to appear in SmartCrafters structures, you will need to put SmartCrafters first in mod load order.

If you are applying SmartCrafters mod on a previous save, all the structures that were previously placed will be replaced automatically with SmartCrafters structures, but you will need to learn the engrams again. If you remove SmartCrafters mod, all SmartCrafters structures will be automatically replaced with their Vanilla versions.

All configurations must be placed in GameUserSettings.ini file - details here.
