I kind of want to answer this question before we leave oh my God the chat again but I actually remember what it was so one person asked if blueprint files from unknown people are safe to use is the file parser sufficiently defensive so the thing that you when it comes to any files on the internet from anyone, always be careful like you're taking a little bit of a risk when you're downloading any file from the internet you won't run into like as far as I know you wouldn't run into any issues like when you're playing the game and loading a blueprint file I think the issue is that the file that you were downloading would be, having malware in it and could be opened in some other way outside of the game so that's I think that's the main, thing to be looking at for I mean I think I think someone did point out to us once I think on launch where, there was no restriction on a certain name yeah that could cause some issues but, but that was mainly that like you couldn't load the blueprints, because the naming the naming of the file couldn't be read or something like that, that's not to say it's like it will affect your computer like that, unless somebody yeah that okay that's true somebody could make a mod that like loads the blueprint files in such a way that it becomes like yeah I guess so but then you're also downloading a mod that does it, yeah so moral of the story here is I think we've done what we can yep or to a reasonable degree but regardless make sure you know where you're getting your files from make sure it's trustworthy you need that's a bit of that responsibilities on you as well all right make sure you know what you're getting who it's from, you have to do your own Villages there as well okay
