I'm trying to make the game harder

[meager cargo]

So I tried dowloading realistic recipies for legacy and 2.0 but theres It won't work even after trying a couple methods that people were talking about in posts

[main carbon]

You are on 2.0?

[meager cargo]

Right now, no legacy

but i tried on 2.0 didnt work

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/88?tab=description

this is the mod i'm looking to use

[main carbon]

But you’d prefer to be on 2.0?

[meager cargo]

I would yes

[main carbon]

Okay switch to 2.0

[meager cargo]

but if it's not possible, for this mod i wouldnt mind going legacy

alright i'm on it:)

[main carbon]

Do you have Tobey’s BepInEx pack installed?

[meager cargo]

back when i tried in 2.0 yes

[main carbon]

Vortex or manual?

[meager cargo]

Vortex

[main carbon]

Okay, disable QModManager

[meager cargo]

I never used qmod manager until going legacy

for 2.0 modding i used nautilus and bepinex

should i uninstall all my legacy mods since i'm going 2.0, or there wont be any interference

[main carbon]

You only need to disable QMM

[meager cargo]

okay

[main carbon]

Enable Nautilus

Do you already have CustomCraft3(Purple Edition)?

[meager cargo]

yes

subanutica 2.0 is dowloading i have slow internet i'll do that

[main carbon]

Okay. Download the Realistic recipes mod manually

Then go to your downloads folder and open the zip

I see there are two downloads. Do you want the fragment booster or the realistic recipes or both?

In both cases just copy the CustomCraft3 folder from the zip into your Subnautica\BepInEx\plugins folder

You can do both also if you want

And that should be that

Oh, probably need to explain. You’re doing the recipe mod manually, because currently Vortex doesn’t know how to install CC3 recipe mods

[meager cargo]

i'd like both yes would be fun and longer lasting

[main carbon]

Yeah, so just grab both from the files tab

[meager cargo]

ok

nearly done dowloading the 2.0

So I'll dowload Bep and nautilus to start?

[main carbon]

You can install the mods, while the game is updating

Don’t have to wait on that

You should have BepInEx installed already if you were using Vortex

[meager cargo]

i uninstalled every mod i had when going legacy in case idk

so i'll dowload again

[main carbon]

Were you installing legacy mods with Vortex?

[meager cargo]

no i was custom dowloading, into the qmods folder

i can vortex dowload this right?

[main carbon]

Did you use Vortex to install QModManager or you did that manually also?

[meager cargo]

manually yes

[main carbon]

Yes

Then you’ll need to uninstall QmodManager manually

Delete BepInEx\patchers\QModManager and BepInEx\plugins\QModManager

Do you have any legacy saves you want to keep, because the game will convert those when you launch living large?

And it isn’t reversible

[meager cargo]

no i'm fine with not keeping any saves

[meager cargo]

ok done, both deleted

ok so i've dowloaded bepin on vortex

[main carbon]

Nautilus, CustomCraft3

Purple edition

[meager cargo]

What is purple edition by the way, and why some mods name it purple edition

it is some sort of referencing

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1410

this one?

[main carbon]

Because someone made a CustomCraft3

That one yes

[meager cargo]

ok

thanks for helping by the way

all 3 dowloaded

[main carbon]

No worries

Now you can download the two recipe mod files manually

[meager cargo]

these ones right

[main carbon]

Open each and copy the CustomCraft3 folder into BepInEx\plugins

Those two yes

[meager cargo]

I dont understand sorry

[main carbon]

Double click on them or right click and open

Them copy the CustomCraft3 folder from each to Subnautica\BepInEx\plugins

You can drag them also if you prefer

[meager cargo]

yes i've dragged them

should be like this?

don't i need to extract files?

[main carbon]

You don’t have to extract

Just double click the zip file

Then drag the CustomCraft3 folder into plugins

Inside the zip you’ll see a CustomCraft3 folder

[meager cargo]

wait where did the recipe mod go?

[meager cargo]

so fragment booster right

[main carbon]

It is probably in the CustomCraft3 folder if you dragged it into plugins

Where it should be

[main carbon]

Yeah, if you haven’t already

Inside Subnautica\BepInEx\plugins\CustomCraft3\WorkingFiles you should have two txt files

[meager cargo]

so i took folder from 1st picture

then sent it to 2nd picture

[meager cargo]

yes

should i do something with these files?

[main carbon]

They are in the correct place

[meager cargo]

nice

[main carbon]

You can play or install more mods

[meager cargo]

i can just launch from steam right

not vortex

[main carbon]

Whichever

[meager cargo]

my god

it worked

thank you so much

[main carbon]

You’re welcome. Enjoy the pain

[meager cargo]

Sure will!

just to conclude

if i want any more mods

i can just use vortex and no custom dl or files to be moved etc?

[main carbon]

For most mods yes

[meager cargo]

and how do i know if mods are compatible or not

[main carbon]

CustomCraft3 or CustomBattery mods you’ll need to do manually

You can’t use mods that require SMLHelper

[meager cargo]

i see, so any mods that are customcraft3 dependant

[meager cargo]

good to know

[main carbon]

Yes

[meager cargo]

so it's like a framework for other mods

[main carbon]

Or CustomBatteries

[main carbon]

SMLHelper?

[meager cargo]

I meant customcraft

[main carbon]

Yeah, it is what makes the changes in game from those txt files

[meager cargo]

i see

[main carbon]

You can go and edit them if you want to change the recipes

You can also use recipe mods that require CC2 with CC3

Just put them into CustomCraft3 instead of CustomCraft2

[meager cargo]

oh thats good to know

so any mod that need customcraft

i can just put in the working files?

or here in the general tab

[main carbon]

You can just put the WorkingFiles folder and Assets folders from them into the CustomCraft3 folder yes

Mods that require the non Purple CC3 won’t work, though

You also can’t have both Purple’s CC3 and the other CC3 installed at the same time. They do conflict

Because of having the same name

But there aren’t that many mods that require that CC3

[meager cargo]

ok i see

thanks

[main carbon]

Only these two in fact

[meager cargo]

ok

the fragment booster

do i just leave it here

[main carbon]

You can delete the zip

[meager cargo]

so, say for example

this mod

[main carbon]

You can install it with Vortex

[meager cargo]

it would work right, stable is 2.0?

[main carbon]

Yes

[meager cargo]

i thought it had customcraft in the title my bad

yea i can just dowlaod it like most other mods this one

[meager cargo]

@main carbon how do i know if a mods would work in 2.0

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/166

in this case, i doesnt mention if it's for legacy or 2.0

should I just look at the date of last modifications and see if it was after 2.0 to guess?

[main carbon]

That works

Subnautica | Identifying Mods for Legacy & Mods for BepInEx (Living Large / 2.0)

Note: Legacy is the version of the game prior to the Living Large update, available only via Steam

1. Mod title

• Does not apply to all mods, but recently updated mods tend to include either 'BepInEx' or 'Legacy' in their mod title to indicate which version of the game it is made for

2. Description

• You should always read the description of any mods you wish to use, 99% of the time this is all you need to do to determine if a mod is for BepInEx or legacy

3. Release date

• BepInEx: any mods that have been released after December 14th 2022 and meet other listed criteria are likely for BepInEx
• Legacy: any mods that have not been released or updated since December 14th 2022 will 100% of the time be for legacy

4. Requirements

• BepInEx: dependencies set to the BepInEx Pack, or Nautilus and other 2.0 only mods
• Legacy: dependencies set to QModManager, SMLHelper 2.15 or older, or other legacy only mods

5. Mod contents

• BepInEx: should not contain a mod.json file
• Legacy: should always contain a mod.json file (exceptions apply to some plugins that work on legacy, e.g. SnapBuilder)

6. Mod tags

• BepInEx: has the tag "Targets: Stable Branch"
• Legacy: has the tag "Targets: Legacy Branch"

Note: Some mods may indicate they are for BepInEx in their title and description, but have a Legacy version available in the Files tab, as you can see in the image below:

[main carbon]

There is an unofficial patch for Resource Monitor, it requires manual installation

You download the old one and install it to plugins

Then download the unofficial patch and install it to plugins and replace files when prompted

[meager cargo]

Ok thanks a bunch

are patches essential to the mod well working usually?

[main carbon]

Not sure what you mean?

[meager cargo]

By the way I don't really need these two mods right? since i'm using the bepin

[meager cargo]

will mods be broken if i dont patch/update them?

[main carbon]

You don’t need those as you won’t be using the mod’s dll

So the unofficial patch is just the replacement dll

[meager cargo]

i should get the zip file right? not the first proposed

[main carbon]

You just put that dll into the Resource Monitor folder overwriting the old one

[meager cargo]

I see

[main carbon]

Get the zip yes

[main carbon]

Many updates are to fix bugs

[meager cargo]

ok

and where can i get the patch from?

[main carbon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1398?tab=files

[meager cargo]

replaced it

is this replacement of dll's how most mods are patched?

[main carbon]

No, rarely like this

Usually the author just updates the original
