How the mod keeps it light
- Simpler models with distance; panes, furniture and decor hidden beyond 100-150 m, inner doors and lamps beyond 50 m.
- Indoor lamps start off, outdoor lamps burn only at night.
Tips: spread large sites out. Not tested on console.

FUNCTIONS
Power and light
- Every building has a main switch: off = all its lamps, screens, alarms and the lift dark.
- A light switch at every room's door. Indoor lamps are off at the start (light is heavy).
- Outdoor lamps burn from dusk to dawn. Lamps can be shot out.
Locks and keys
- Front doors and security points are locked; from inside they always open. A key box by the main entrance gives the building's master key; guard posts give a key ring for their site.
Breaching
- Shoot a lock out, or blow the door open with a charge at its handle. A charge on a panel blows that panel out, at the hinges it tears the leaf out. Wood splinters along its grain, steel tears, bars bend. Rounds and hands pass a blown hole.
CCTV
- A station shows every camera of its site within 150 m, on its monitor (right mouse: up close, Alt: look round) or full screen. Needs power. Cameras can be shot out.
- Keys: A / D camera, mouse look, wheel or W / S zoom, R reset, N night vision, O settings, Esc close.
Kits for your own builds
- Lift (Prefabs/MST/Lift): cars S, M, L; it finds its floors (2 to 10, any heights).
- Every door and window of the mod (Prefabs/MST/Shared/MST_Joinery_01, sizes in JOINERY.md); they open and break the same.
- Strongroom door, day gate and bank security screen.
Multiplayer
- Power, lamps, gates, locks, keys, door damage, lift and alarm are kept on the server; late joiners see the current state.
Destruction
- Every building collapses into a ruin.
FOR MISSION MAKERS
- About 200 Game Master entries: buildings (furnished or not), estates, gates, walls, CCTV, key boxes, about 100 pieces of furniture.
- Lower the terrain under the prison 4.2 m; cut terrain holes under the row houses' cellars. Estates need flat ground.
ENGINE LIMITATIONS
- The engine draws 16 to 22 lamp shadows: far rooms may stay dark; with many rooms lit, light shines through walls outdoors.
- No bounced light at night; indoor daylight comes from light probes.
KNOWN POINTS
- AI inside is not tested; expect trouble in large interiors and on stairs.
- Fences and railings reach 0.8 m into the ground: gaps on steep ground.
- Plant models are not good enough yet.
