Modular Load Balancers

They currently do not need to remain connected. but must start connected. Unless you use the digby tool found in another mod to connect them.

because it's a problem with the way the game's movement systems are coded and pak utility just uses the built in no clip

How to define building's collision hitbox?

Can't use 1 world on 2 steam accounts

long story short SMM instlals the mods to the game. it shouldn't interfere with any steam shenanigans you're doing unless you use SMM to start the game at which point I don't know what it'd do. Start the game normally uunder any steam acocunt and you should have everything setup UNLESS you have multiple installations of the game.
