Site Menu Manager (SMM)

SMM provides an easy way to add a custom menu and have said menu disappear automatically on uninstall (without breaking your build menu!

Like the title, the famous stronghold construction menu plug-in-SMM. In view of the needs of many stronghold-type modules that I have released at present, and it is true that there are remote areas in the background that are inconvenient to download, I will simply make a diversion on the weekend.

Chinese version (try to do it by yourself if possible, if it doesn’t work, just message me privately)

The following is the original introduction

As of 0.1.6, SMM now automatically fixes the workshop menu every time the game loads (if WSFW is not installed).

The Stronghold Menu Manager provides a safe and easy way to add custom categories to your checkout menu. As a user, this means you can install mods that support SMM without having to worry about ending up with a broken build menu if you choose to uninstall them. Non-SMM mods still require an uninstaller.

User FAQ:

Q: If I have SMM installed, can I still use mods that set up my own menus?

Answer: Yes. SMM is designed to play well with other mods.

Q: If I install this, does this mean I can install/uninstall anything without having to worry about the menu disappearing?

A: No, you still need to run the uninstaller for any mod that doesn't use SMM.

Q: If I want to stop using SMM, can I disable it? (Can SMM be uninstalled automatically?

Answer: No, it is not actually possible for a mod to automatically clean up after uninstalling it. In order to properly uninstall SMM, you must activate SMM's "Safe Mode" feature, save, close your game, and then remove it from the load sequence. Apparently, uninstalling SMM will break any mods that rely on SMM.

Q: What is "Safe Mode" and how do I enable it?

A: Safe Mode temporarily removes everything SMM added to the build menu in order to uninstall SMM itself (see question above about uninstalling SMM). All content will be added back the next time you load the game or open and close the build menu. To activate Safe Mode, run Holotape, the settlement menu manager added to your inventory when you installed SMM, and select "Enter Safe Mode." We don't recommend reinstalling SMM or Workshop Mode mid-game, even though this mod exists in part to make it easier to do (ironic, we know, but people will do whatever they want, we're just trying to minimize the damage).

Q: A mod that doesn't enable SMM breaks my build menu. Can I use SMM to fix it?

A: Yes, select the "Checkout Menu Rescue" option in the SMM holotape. It will scan the build menu and remove every invalid category/menu (without breaking the valid ones). However, starting with 0.1.6, SMM will run an automatic menu fix every time the game is loaded. If SMM detects that the user has Workshop Framework (WSFW) installed, it will skip automatic menu repair, as this is now a feature in WSFW as well.

Q: Can I use SMM with SKE?

Answer: Yes.

Q: Where should I place SMM in my load order?

A: Anywhere should be fine.

Q: I can’t find the holographic tape after installing SMM, how can I get it?

A: There are now two craftable holotapes in the Chemistry Workbench Utilities section. One has VIS naming style and one does not. Feel free to create and publish patches* using the alternative holotape naming style of your choice. *Patch means you only edit the name of the holotape record, please do not release a complete mod with a renamed holotape.

Q: I have a mod whose menu is not showing up to me, how do I fix it?

A: The most common problem is a corrupted workshop menu caused by mistakenly uninstalling a mod that requires chemistry to be uninstalled. Try running the "Settlement Menu Rescue" option from the holotape. Then try reinstalling the mod with the missing menu. Other potential issues in spoilers below.

The most common reasons why the newly installed mod menu does not appear:

• Corrupted workshop menu, run SMM menu rescue option in SMM holographic tape.
• Failed …
