Subnautica Data Framework (SDF)

Description

The Subnautica Data Framework provides tooling to add content to Subnautica 2 in a data driven way with minimal usage of complex modding tools. It provides a simple TOML based file format for mod creators to use and will, in the future, also support a Lua and potentially a C++ API. Through these files custom content can be added as far as it is possible at runtime. Only some certain features might require the use of Unreal Engine in the future.

Installation instructions

• Download the latest SDF zip[/*]

• Extract the zip and copy the SDF folder into Subnautica2/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods[/*]

• The enabled.txt file inside the SDF folder should now be at Subnautica2/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/SDF/enabled.txt[/*]

Main features

The mod currently supports the following features using a simple TOML based format:

• Custom crafting recipes[/*]

• Custom crafting recipe categories[/*]

The following features are also planned for future versions:

• (maybe) Vehicle support[/*]

There is currently no documentation on this mod, but I will get to work as soon as possible to create some. For now I have created an example mod that showcases some functionality.

Requirements

It is required to use the latest version of UE4SS for this mod to work.
