Moves all decorations in the main XML by shifting them from a source location to a destination location.
To get a Start and End location, simply clear your decorations, place a box or any object in its rough location,
save it as a new file, move the box to a new spot, and then save a new file for end location.
WORLD ZERO CHECK BOX:
If you would like to simply move your grouped decorations to a position of "absolute zero," simply check this box.
It will average out your deco locations and move them to the very center of the map. This feature is especially
helpful when doing a map swap, and your current layout position is out of bounds.
Please note that the world zero position rests under the ground in some maps, and will still require a
traditional move to make it visible and where you want it placed. The Safe Zone feature will allow you to
adjust for maps where World Zero may be too close to a waypoint; Guild Halls specifically. It will offset
your deco grouping a little to the south and vertically up from world zero. Either way, traditional moving
is typically always going to be required, especially in a map swap scenario.
Upload a saved homestead layout and this tool will show you exactly how many of each decoration is required for the build.

Deco Merger Tool
Merge decorations from multiple XMLs into one layout.
Original Deco Layout: The XML containing your homestead or guild hall's current layout. Add Decos: One or more XML files of the new decoration groupings you would like to add.
Each added file will be marked with a comment line using its filename (without .xml),
which can later be used by the Deco Extraction tool to pull groups back out.
Merging will download a new file ending in _MERGED.xml.

XML Inspector
Drag and drop a single XML file to check its formatting. This tool will find unclosed tags, mismatches,
and other structural XML errors. If an error is found, you may auto-repair the file with the Fix Now button.
Please note that this tool cannot fix extensively broken XML, but is great for identifying minor repairs and
reparing them.
