Colony Survival features an extensive API to allow for mods to modify, remove and add content to the game. Mods are distributed via the Steam Workshop.
List of mods[]
The game does support mods via the Steam Workshop. The user has to subscribe to a mod and Steam will download it automatically. A mod needs to be activated at the new / load world menu in game.
Creating a mod[]
Creating a Colony Survival mod can be done by anyone, even if you have no knowledge of programming. The Official Discord has a channel dedicated to supporting mod developers. If you have problems getting started or encounter any issues the Discord is here to help.
Basic[]
Using only .JSON files you can add or modify vast aspects of the game such as:
- Add new Blocks
- Add new Science
- Add new Crafting Recipes
- Add new Colony Starter Kits
Detailed information on how to structure these files is located on the Colony Survival Github page.
Intermediate[]
With basic C# knowledge you write your own code to interface with the Colony Survival API and add more complex blocks and job behavior.
Advanced[]
Using tools like Harmony you can patch the Colony Survival code to modify normal functionality, or add your own advanced features not available through the existing API.
