Sunless Skies - Game Mod - Monarch: Steel & Wine v.1.0 - Download

Monarch: Steel & Wine is a mod for Sunless Skies, created by  Desblat.

Description (in author’s own words)

First fan-made content mod for Sunless Skies which development took me almost 6 months to (mostly due to the Parabolian-like constantly changing code of the game).

The mod was developed for Steam version of the game, I don't know, if it will work with GoG version.

Brief Summary

1) Brand new locomotive modules - 60 items;

2) Obtainable lodgings at large cities - 3 houses;

3) Parties for factions which may be hosted at lodgings;

4) Faction shops - 5 new shops;

5) New trade goods - 3 new trading goods;

6) Barrels of Hours and Crates of Munitions are now consumable items which boost speed and armament damage, respectively.

New control keys:

‘K’ - openbridge storylet, a menu which allows to equip/unequip new modules and use certain active modules and items;

‘T’ - consume Barrel of Hours to temporarily boost your locomotive speed with Hour Loom;

‘Y’ - toggle the Hour Loom off;

‘G’ - consume Crates of Munitions to boost your armaments damage for fixed amount of firings.

Installation:

1) Download the archive and unzip it into some handy location.

2) Copy-paste “BepInEx”, “mono”, “Sunless Skies_Data” folders and "winhttp.dll", “doorstop_config.ini” files into core folder of Sunless Skies game accepting replacements. You may find the folder under the path “Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sunless Skies”, you may open that folder by following “Steam Library -> Rightclick mouse -> Properties -> Browse local files”;

3) Check if file “resources.assets” in “Sunless Skies\Sunless Skies_Data” is correctly replaced with a new one;

4) Obligatory: make a backup of your save files from “Username\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Skies\storage\characterrepository” folder;

5) Launch the game from Steam Library (somehow the game sometimes fails to launch the mod if Sunless Skies is launched via desktop shortcut). You will see a BepInEx console launching the mod (red text after phrase "Mod Loaded" is not a problem). If console doesn’t appear there is a chance something went wrong and the mod won’t work;

6) Load up your save, the mod will work regardless if you load an older save or start a new game;

7) Is the number. After the save loads and you see a port you are docked at press ‘K’. You should see “Your Locomotive” event; If you see it - congrats! The mod is successfully installed!

8) If Steam updates the game you will need to copy paste modded file “resources.assets” into “Sunless Skies\Sunless Skies_Data” again.

9) I recommend to turn off auto-updates in the settings of the game in Steam. This is needed because, if Sunless Skies decides to spontaneously update and you load a save file after updating you will lose all the modded items! Thus I also recommend you to make backups of your saves every now then;

10) If mod works, skip this step. If console doesn’t appear (and button 'K' doesn't work while flying), you most likely don't have a proper version of Microsoft Net Framework. The mod is based on BepInEx injection, which requires Microsoft Net Framework Developer Pack v 4.6 or newer. You will need to download it from official Microsoft site Dotnet.microsoft.com and install it. That's the most final manipulation you will need.
