Installation:
- Download the .7z file.
- Extract its contents to the Bundle folder of your RF4S installation.
- The game will use it automatically.
Notes:
- You should be able to determine whether it's in effect by going after Iron nodes specifically for a bit and seeing if the Glitta Augite drops.
- My PC save is the first I have on PC so is relatively early on; I haven't made it further in to test the later nodes. If something's wonky with them, compare the original MapOre_Rate.bin file from your .bundle file to my modified MapOre_Rate.bin and adjust accordingly with HxD or a similar hex editor.

- A friend on Discord who also fielded my questions very patiently and helped me with the basic process at an ungodly hour of the night.
