Notes

Some of this mod stuff is for basic setups of the support. For example seats can get way more complicated than just a chair if you want to put it inside a jet cockpit or something. If you want support for something specific just let me know, I will provide all the basics I can think of for now. I have provided examples for the new support in the mod tools. These are very basic examples that do not include the same content in the game (models, materials, shaders, etc.). This is in part because they are meant to be quick examples but also because not everything is available for distribution outside the game. However, when you do not provide your own assets for things like FX/SFX (leave them blank) the game will generate some for you based on the ones already in the game (a nice compromise). This is convenient if you just want to slap a new engine together and get all the normal sound fx or something. There are other more complex mod support tasks in the backlog that are not currently planned (Anchors, Cranes, Custom Scripts, etc.). If you are looking for something specific feel free to reach out. The mod display name applies to build mode, interactions, and multiplayer. Sometimes anchors can retract very fast, if they were secured at a weird angle they may impact the boat right before they snap into place. Previously this could cause the anchors to explode which is not great, so now the anchor will ignore the mount impacts from the anchor. If the anchor impacts in such a way in the future it will simply damage the boat slightly and not cause an explosion (unless it hits some other part.) Guides will be updated soon.
