It can't be removed from a multiplayer world the server has already run with it, or no player can load that world (vanilla B42 behavior); in single player, read the guide before removing it, or locked gates stay locked 🔗 All Minidoracat mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3809297109 💬 Feedback: GitHub Issues https://github.com/Minidoracat/MinidoracatKnoxPassFor42/issues / Discord https://discord.gg/Gur2V67 #ProjectZomboid #PZMod #KnoxPass
