So what's different about this version?
Performance
- Issue: Vanilla workgivers scan every thing on every map to find barrels,
- Solution: UF keeps a cached list of barrels which is easily 1000+ times less work to scan through and UF removes the vanilla barrel and related workgivers
- Issue: Every mod that used it's own workgivers and code for fermenting (and similar) added another layer of the same scanning behavior, multiplying the load caused
- Solution: UF also removes workgivers of any other mod that is patched by it
- Issue: Old UF had bad gizmos that updated constantly and for each barrel selected, causing massive FPS drops when selecting more than a few barrels
- Solution: This version of UF uses pre-cached gizmos, loaded on game start, causing barely any impact on the game, no matter how many barrels you select

Mods that implement UF work without it, but self-patch when UF is present, the mod author has to keep these patches up-to-date.
Mods patched by UF are patched by UF itself. This means I have to maintain the patches. Whenever the author of the mod changes their mod, I have to get notified and change my patch to it.
If you are using Vegetable Garden and Vanilla Factions Expanded note this load order:
