Publishing

The registry is the public repository steel-tide/mods: every mod is a folder under mods/<id>/, and the game and this site list what is there.

1. Fork it and add your folder as mods/<id>/; the folder name is the mod's id.
2. Add at least one screenshot of the mod in play and name it under screenshots in mod.json: 4:3 (1600 × 1200 is a good size), at least 640 px wide, PNG, JPEG or WebP under 2 MB, up to eight of them. The game's mod list and the mod's page here show them; the first is the mod's card. A match with the mod's units on screen is the picture (the console's give puts them there), cropped to 4:3.
3. Run node tools/check.mjs mods/<id>. It prints every error the game would, checks the screenshots, and checks the folder against every other published mod: ids are global, so prefix a generic word with your mod's id (ironworks-bunker, not bunker).
4. Open a pull request. CI runs the same check; once merged, the index is rebuilt and the mod appears in the game's registry list and on the mods page, where its installs are counted.
5. Bump version for every change. The game offers the update to whoever has the mod.

A mod is published under the licence its manifest names (CC-BY-4.0 unless you say otherwise). Only ship art you have the right to.
