Why the base?
This addon contains all necessary components that most of all SW Addons need to work properly. It also avoid to have every single component in each addon again. Like lights, doors, display, sounds, shared models ect.
The base addon makes creating updates and new addons A LOT easier. So in the best case I just need to update the base addon instead of every single addon.
Addons requiring the SW Base addon is not a subject to change!
