im having issues installing the mod. i can't quite follow the instructions 100% when i do it says error. but i can install the mod if checksum validation is not selected. I tried to run Archipelagates but the play and the quit tabs in the game cannot be clicked so i have to alt+f4 to close the game. I dont know where the save files are so i cn do a complete uninstal and reinstall as I made a bunch of npc and got close to the end of max portal level. But if im out of luck then so be it. thank you.

Sorry for the late reply, I missed this comment. You probably figured this out already, but the save files are stored outside the main game files, specifically in the AppData/LocalLow/RalivDev folder. I would recommend copying and pasting the save folder elsewhere if you are worried about it being deleted/lost. If you redownload the game, it should still use the same save files, HOWEVER I have not tested this using the Itch app or any other file managing service.
For future reference, if you have followed the steps perfectly but get a checksum issue, it is likely you have a different version of the game or mod. Only the most recent version of the game available on Itch is confirmed to work with the most recent version of the mod as of now.
Finally, disabling checksum validation will never make the mod work, as a mismatched checksum inherently means it will not work.
