It Takes a Village - A Server Side Co-op Overhaul Mod is mainly worth checking through enemy spawns and pressure, map, POI, biome, or prefab placement, class, perk, book, or level progression, crafting gates and workstations, loot and trader value, and enemy and blood-moon pressure. Do that in a copied save or test server before changing a main world.

- Check normal POIs, night travel, blood moon, loot bags, and server spawn limits before raising difficulty.
- Generate or load a test world, visit the affected places, then restart and check quest and trader routes.
- Compare the first week with vanilla: where recipes unlock, which books matter, and whether early roles change.
- Check whether core tools, stations, vehicles, food, weapons, or late-game materials move behind new gates.
