First of all...

Thank you for your patience and all the feedback on the modding guides! We are constantly reflecting on your feedback and adding more info to places that are not explained well enough. And we will continue doing that until the guides are easy to follow and clear for everyone.

So if you ever get stuck on some step, don't hesitate to post into the modding-help channel in our Discord (and tag Tomas#9155, he specifically requests that) or in the Workshop forum. And please always mention the guide you have an issue with and which section. It will help us a ton!

Patch Notes

Main Game Fixes

Added Mod info window when loading saves (it informs you about the differences between mods set in main menu, and mods set in the save file)
Steam launch dialog on Linux allows you to choose between OpenGL and Vulkan
"Load game" menu now shows settings and delete buttons above each save (it used to show only when you hovered over them)
Improved player's jumping, giving you a better chance to escape from spots where you'd previously stay stuck
Fixed multiple issues where you'd get stuck in spectator view above the submarine when loading a save
Fixed broken armor equipping animation
Fixed issues where mods caused connection problems in multiplayer games
Fixed issue with the Captain not having a proper dress code for the Halloween event
Fixed wrong order of the new dragon and skeleton decals for paint jobs

Steam Workshop

Added new tags: starter, design, visual
Starter tag - Used for any mod, that affects the starter drillships (starter drillship = the first drillship you capture in the game after completing the first few quests for the Captain)
Design tag - Used for mods that adjust devices in the starter drillships
Visual tag - Used for mods that change paint jobs of the starter drillships, for example, a mod that would give a starter drillship a dragon paintjob

Mod SDK Fixes

All creation scenes are now automatically duplicated and available for modders
Duplicated creation scenes have the option to be reset to the default state when Mod SDK gets a new update (this is optional)

Mod Guide Fixes

In general we added and keep adding more information to all Captains modding guides based on your feedback
The guides are being constantly tested, and any reported issue is being reflected

New Captain Mod

Blind Cogs - COGs are blinded from constant work in dark caves with super bright lava. It is almost impossible for them to spot you unless they are fired upon, or damaged in any other way. If that happens, they will charge in the direction of incoming fire and fight back!

Mod Fixes

Large Backpack - Fixed issue with dropped backpacks having only 32 slots, when it was supposed to be 100
New Crew - Captains skin no longer stretches in random directions when wearing a modded armor
Advanced Armor - Fixed issue with armor preventing revive or respawn
Advanced Armor - Fixed issue where wearing armor would block you from changing skin in wardrobe
Green Eruption - Is finally green again
Cosmetic Modules - Now support paint jobs
Submarine Pier Chests - Saving and loading now works correctly
Auto Burrow - Fixed issue where clients could not change settings of this feature
Additive Scene - Fixed issues with saving and loading
Interior Device - Fixed wrong camera position when player was seated in the throne
