• Steam Launcher: MOD tab -> mod dropdown -> 3 dots -> Repair.
• DZSA: MODS tab -> verify arrows, restart launcher.
• DZSA alternative: Settings -> VERIFY ALL STEAM WORKSHOP MODS.
• Manual fallback: open mod folder from launcher, delete bad files, then verify again.

• There are 2 ways to get a keycard: create one from a blank card and the required items, or find an unprogrammed card.
• You will need to find a bench and all required items for the workbench.
• If you are creating a card, you will need a blank card, chip, solder, laptop, reader, and anything else the bench requires. Follow the workbench steps to create the card. The chip determines which card you make.
• If you are programming a card, you only need the unprogrammed card, laptop, and reader on the workbench.
