1) New locomotive modules - 80 items;
2) Obtainable lodgings at large cities - 3 houses;
3) Parties for factions hosted at lodgings;
4) Barrels of Hours and Crates of Munitions are now consumable items which boost speed and armament damage;
5) New weapon class - Ram;
6) New port to investigate - Chagatai;
7) New locations at Empyrean and Winter's Reside.
0) If you already have the previous version of the mod all the operations with game files must be done with replacing the existing files to the new files.
1) Download the archive and unzip it into some handy location.
2) Copy-paste “BepInEx”, “mono”, “Sunless Skies_Data” folders and "winhttp.dll", “doorstop_config.ini” files into core folder of Sunless Skies game accepting replacements. You may find the folder under the path “Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sunless Skies”, you may open that folder by following “Steam Library -> Rightclick mouse -> Properties -> Browse local files”;
3) Check if file “resources.assets” in “Sunless Skies\Sunless Skies_Data” is correctly replaced with a new one;
4) Copy paste custom images folder "addon_mod_images" to the “Username\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Skies\storage\” folder;
5) Obligatory: make a backup of your save files from “Username\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Skies\storage\characterrepository” folder;
6) Copy paste custom images folder "addon_mod_images" to the “Username\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Skies\storage\” folder;
7) Is the number. Launch the game from Steam Library (somehow the game sometimes fails to launch the mod if Sunless Skies is launched via desktop shortcut). You will see a BepInEx console launching the mod (red text after phrase "Mod Loaded" is not a problem). If console doesn’t appear there is a chance something went wrong and the mod won’t work. Scary red text in the console is not a bug, it is supposed to be that way.
8) Load up your save, the mod will work regardless if you load an older save or start a new game;
9) After the save loads and you see a port you are docked at press ‘K’. You should see “Your Locomotive” event; If you see it - congrats! The mod is successfully installed!
10) If Steam updates the game you will need to copy paste modded file “resources.assets” into “Sunless Skies\Sunless Skies_Data” again.
11) I recommend to turn off auto-updates in the settings of the game in Steam. This is needed because, if Sunless Skies decides to spontaneously update and you load a save file after updating you will lose all the modded items! Thus I also recommend you to make backups of your saves every now then;
12) If mod works, skip this step. If console doesn’t appear (and button 'K' doesn't work while flying), you most likely don't have a proper version of Microsoft Net Framework. The mod is based on BepInEx injection, which requires Microsoft Net Framework Developer Pack v 4.6 or newer. You will need to download it from official Microsoft site Dotnet.microsoft.com and install it. That's the most final manipulation you will need.
