Requirements

All players must have Asylum Overhaul installed in their Mods folder (steam and server MP)
The server If using, must also have Asylum Overhaul installed in its Mods folder

You cannot generate a cave-enabled map directly on the server.

If you generate a map server-side, it will work — but caves will not be included.

Maps must be generated on a client PC first.
