GameData Overview

Work In Progress

This documentation is a work in progress. Help out by submitting a pull request to the docs repository

GameData xml files contain configurations for the various systems of the game. You can find the vanilla GameData files in the game install under rocketstation_Data/StreamingAssets/Data and rocketstation_Data/StreamingAssets/Worlds. These files will always be loaded first, followed by the files in enabled mods.

In a mod, these files can be anywhere inside the GameData folder except in a folder named Language. The name of the file doesn't matter as long as it has the xml extension. Each file should contain one top-level GameData element with any configuration elements inside.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData>
  <!-- custom configurations here -->
</GameData>

Recipes

Most devices that consume and produce items (printers, furnaces, centrifuge, etc), follow recipes defined in xml. These recipes can be replaced by mods by defining a recipe for the same item.
