Arms/Legs when you just increase the count

Storage

Armor

Armor protects you from most hazards. However you are still going to drown and die from fall damage.

NPCs

The game groups some enemies into "families". Most likely they won't attack each other and raid the player.

One word about modifying NPCs: Some enemies are in caves/bunkers and have a different GraphMask. When this option is selected (Only in the same area as this actor) only enemies in the same "phase" are edited.

So, if you just want to remove babies in caves, select this option. If you remove all of them, just deselect it.

Spawners: I haven't fully investigated how the game works with those spawners. When you delete them the game will re-create them on the next game save. So this would be one way to increase the number of enemies.

Structures

This tool lets you "almost" finish blueprints, set them to "unfinished" or remove them. Why "almost"? Because it is too complex to convert blueprints to final buildings. So this tool will change the blueprints to require one last item until a blueprint is finished.

The cool thing about this is that you can use it in order to have an easy source for logs for example. Just set some shelters, change them to "almost finished", take them down and all logs will drop to the ground.

Another cool thing is that you can use it to build stuff in caves or bunkers. The process is the same: Just set the blueprints, mark them as "almost finished", take them down and use the resources to build new stuff.

If you want to build larger structures like shelters in a cave or bunker, you have to place a small blueprint first ( like a chair), then change its type and save.

Map

The map combines static information about points-of-interest with dynamic information that are read directly from the savegame. Some positions are missing but they may be added in the future.
