COMPATIBILITY B42

General Notes

• ✅ Compatible with most mods

• ✅ Can be added to existing worlds

• ✅ Works in multiplayer and single player

• ✅ Advanced integrations for gun mods get unlocked dynamically

• ✅ Gun mods that re-use base game calibres exclusively are always supported

• 🚫 Never use multiple gun mods at the same time unless explicitly allowed

• ⚠️ The base game currently doesn't support the removal of mods from multiplayer worlds if they add custom entities (e.g. bird feeder). If you must remove such a mod, there is a unofficial removal tool available in the discord server. The issue has been confirmed by TIS and will be fixed with one of the next base game updates: https://theindiestone.com/forums/topic/101685-42204-missing-dictionary-script-on-client/
