MAM Enhancer

MAM Enhancer

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD033 -->

Multiplayer Compatible! Can work client side only - you can even use this mod when connected to a vanilla server!

_If you enjoy my work, please consider donating to my completely optional tip jar._

This mod modifies the base game MAM, HUB, and AWESOME Shop UI to provide additional information to the player and improve the user experience. It provides no content on its own and _does not alter game progression in any way_ - just quality of life changes.

Here is a screenshot of the base game Caterium research tree viewed with the mod's default settings:

Here is a screenshot of a different mod's research tree that uses some extra features this mod offers:

How to find the configs outside of the MAM:

For Developers

Extra Capability for your Mod

When in 'Info' view mode, the Description of the selected node's associated Schematic is shown along with the usual tooltip details. This is not normally visible in the base game. Furthermore, this mod allows users to hover over the items that Node will unlock and see their descriptions - also not possible in the base game. As such, having this mod as a dependency allows you to display more information to users in your MAM trees.

Furthermore, the mod also allows end users to hover over FGUnlockInfoOnly unlock types in the MAM, adding another method through which you can display more info to the user. In the base game, any description text you supply to Info Only unlocks is not viewable in the MAM.

The mod icon that this mod renders in the MAM is the same as the one you have included with your mod for display on the Mods menu. If you see the white warning file icon instead, you are missing some configuration files that allow your mod icon to be packed with the rest of your mod files. You can find directions on how to set that up here.

Debugging Features

This option can't be configured from inside the MAM - you must be on the pause screen or main menu to change it.

If you enable the 'Debugging Features' config option, which is off by default, you'll open up a bunch of tools to help with testing mods with research trees. These features include:
