Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions that come up most.

Is this safe for my save?#

A mod runs inside the game process, so a bug in a mod can crash the game. Back up your save before trying new mods.

Does it work in multiplayer?#

No. DeltaLoader is for single-player. It aborts when it sees an anti-cheat module.

Will it break when the game updates?#

Mods will stop loading until the loader is updated. That is intended: wrong addresses would corrupt the game instead.

Does it modify my game files?#

Not permanently. Mods are kept in a separate mods folder, and the DLLs are injected into the running game. Mod asset files (meshes, shaders, islands) are shown to the game through an overlay or a virtual file system; with the overlay the files are laid over rom while the game runs and the originals are restored when it ends.

Can I use Workshop addons and DeltaLoader mods together?#

Yes. Lua addons are the game's own supported route and run inside the game; DeltaLoader mods are native DLLs. They do not interfere.

Are there mod profiles?#

Not in the current launcher. See Mod profiles.

Do I need an account?#

Not to browse or download mods. An account is needed to publish and manage projects.

Where do I ask for help?#

On the Discord server. See also Community links and the GitHub repository.
