Community Tools

Community Tools is a mechanic in the modding category that provides core functionality for community-created modifications. It defines how user-made content integrates with the game’s systems, exposing hooks, utilities, and interfaces that mods can use to register items, buildings, recipes, fluids, and other entities. Community Tools coordinates loading order, dependency handling, and runtime APIs so that third-party mods interact consistently with the base game and with each other, serving as the primary framework for creating and managing mods.
