Directory hierarchy ignored?

[Ocram]

So for example, for a mod that replaces this file:
C:\kenshi\data\buildings\materials\construction.dds
your mod would look like this:
C:\kenshi\mods\modname\buildings\materials\construction.dds
C:\kenshi\mods\modname\modname.mod

This succesfully replaces chest1.mesh:
Kenshi\mods\Tests\bla\forniture\chest1.mesh

If so, that's pretty unexpected. You'd think it would have to match perfectly, or otherwise be treated as a different asset.
