Modding is the act of modifying or using modified Subnautica 2 game files. Mods, which are individual modifications, allow players to experience the game in a different way by changing, removing, or adding game content. Modding can provide useful tools for players and wiki editors and can greatly increase enjoyment of a game by allowing players to tune their experience to their own preferences. However, modding can also cause additional bugs and have unforeseen consequences, so it is wise to choose mods carefully and to make backups of saves.
Finding Mods
The primary place to find mods are popular modding platforms such as Nexus Mods. Sites like these allow mod creators to upload mods they have made for other players to download and use them. Mod creators may also decide to host their mods in other places.
Installing Mods
The process for installing mods can differ largely depending on the mod. Most mods will explicitly write which mod dependencies are required as well as clear installation steps in the mod description. Many mods depend on the UE4SS mod loader.
Recommended Mods for Wiki Editing
- Console Commands which enables a Console Command feature similar to previous games
- Photomode for taking screenshots (see Taking Screenshots)
