Ectype Framework

Ectype Framework

Version 0.20.0 For Game Version 1.3.0 Developed by Jack Some AI tooling used Requires: BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2305, NihilityShift-VoidManager-1.2.11

💡 Function(s)

• A dependency library. On its own it adds no gameplay: install it when another mod lists it as required.
• Lets other mods add playable roles (a perk tree plus an optional role ability) to the Fabricator's gene-tree screens, which the base game limits to four trees.
• Provides shared services to dependent mods: loot-table registration for modded weapons, timed enemy and crew statuses, field-backed stats that perks can modify, a HUD ability bar and ship arrivals from the void.
• Keeps your client from crashing when a run uses a session mutator whose mod you do not have installed.

🎮 Client Usage

• Nothing to operate. Install it alongside the mods that need it.
• Settings, if any, are under F5 → Mod Settings → Ectype Framework.

👥 Multiplayer Functionality

• ⚠️ All players
• Everyone in the room needs the same build of this mod, and the same build of every mod that depends on it. A mismatched version bounces the joiner.
• Install new versions on every crewmate's machine at the same time.

🛠️ For modders

• A role mod is a JSON manifest, icons and optional code callbacks; the framework does the registration.
• The package includes EctypeFramework.xml, the API documentation your editor reads when you reference the DLL.
