+## :information_desk_person: Is this safe to use?
+
+This open-source project has been around for over 3 years with thousands of downloads and users. While binaries are offered for ease of use, anyone can compile it themselves.
+
+Nobody has ever been banned either. This project focuses on mods -- NO hacks, utilizing Valve's approved methods (VPK loading) for creating assets, as documented on the official Valve Wiki. Historically Valve just disabled problematic assets from loading and never punished modders. Worst thing that can happen is a mod stops working and that's it.
