FAQ
Q. Why are my vents/coolers floating and there's a missing wall piece?
A. If you installed this mod to a pre-existing save game, you'll need to make a few modifications. Coolers and vents are placed on top of walls, instead of acting as
walls. Just build some new wall pieces down to fill the gaps.

Q. This is conflicting with the mod Replace Stuff?
A. The in-wall vents and coolers are now a toggeable patch. Go to mod options -> Vanilla Expanded Framework -> Toggleable patches.
