Requirements / Notes
• Forge 1.20.1 (47.4.16)
• Requires TaCZ (1.1.7)
• Config file: `config/project_tacz-common.toml`
• Not compatible with my legacy TaCZ NPC addon. Additionally, "Project Overhaul (LEGACY)" features overlap content so please download THIS ONE instead if you're looking for human NPCs and androids.
• The "Configured" mod is highly recommended for config editing via in-game menus!
Configured - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge
• Most TaCZ updates likely won't break this mod, but please carefully check the TaCZ change log for API changes...if TaCZ changes an API hook or function, please alert me right away.

Coming soon... (Planned here will be pre-made config files for MarbledNull's new mod "Arsenal Redux", including all factions geared with armor from Arsenal Redux, class based factions, etc.)
