The '''[Order]''' column is of particular interest, as this column defines the installation hierarchy. Packages assigned to lower numbers are installed first; thus, ''files from lower-numbered packages will be overwritten by those from higher numbered packages where there is conflict''. Likewise, sub-packages work the same way: those with lower numeric prefixes will appear in the list first and thus, will be installed first, and conflicting files will be overwritten by those with higher numbers (sub-packages are sorted alphanumerically). | The '''[Order]''' column is of particular interest, as this column defines the installation hierarchy.

This guide will illustrate in detail how to set up STEP mods by focusing only on the initial texture mods. The same process may be used to set up all subsequent mods. | This guide will illustrate in detail how to set up STEP mods by focusing only on the initial texture mods.

Infrequently, packages that are highlighted in yellow or orange have not been installed according to the defined heirarchy. This can easily be corrected by right clicking on the package and selecting '''[Install Missing]'''. Afterwards, right click the package again and click '''[Anneal]''' or '''[Anneal All]''' to tell BAIN to consider all packages in the install list. The '''[Anneal]''' function simply tells BAIN to refresh its assessment of the defined install hierarchy and reapply those rules to correct any unintended conflicts. It never hurts to use this function frequently, and '''[Auto Anneal]''' should always be ticked in BAIN’s main context menu to honor the install hierarchy. | Infrequently, packages that are highlighted in yellow or orange have not been installed according to the defined heirarchy.
