Keyz’ Allow Utilities
A utility mod that adds various quality-of-life improvements for managing items and plants across your colony map. This mod focuses on enhancing selection, allow/forbid controls, and plant management features.
Note: this is not a fork of the original Allow Tools – it’s a from scratch implementation with a focus on performance.
That said – Thanks to UnlimitedHugs for Allow Tools – the inspiration for this. It used to be one of the most used mods when I played 🙂
