AzNean Lib

What it does: Shared parts for my mods that add items to Sons of the Forest; it does nothing on its own.
How to use: Nothing to do: your mod manager installs it with the mods that need it.
Multiplayer: Installed by each player who has one of those mods; nothing more is needed on the host.

What it does

• Keeps one list of the item ids added by mods, so two mods never take the same id (that would lose a player's items). A clash is refused and written in the BepInEx log with the mod that has the id.
• Adds an item's name, plural and description to the game's own item texts, in the game's language.
• Adds crafting recipes to the game's crafting mat, and lets the mat take the items they use.
• Puts the backpack places a mod adds in the game's backpack lists, so items moved into the backpack show there.
• No patch of the game, nothing running every frame.

Used by: Slingshot Special Ammo.

Multiplayer

Nothing of its own goes over the network. Each player who installs a mod that needs it gets it with that mod.
