[v81] Saves item positions, rotations and variants, including items placed on furniture

About this mod Author’s original text

BasedItemSaving

Saves the exact position, rotation and variant of every item on the ship. Items placed on furniture also save. And TZP fuel, Spray Paint fuel and battery charge.

Note that items that don't use the vanilla mesh/material variant fields in their item properties will not save, as they use their own methods to apply variants to items, such as UpturnedVariety.

Item saving in DawnLib's config must be set to false for this mod to work. False means DawnLib's Item Saving IS enabled.

Config

Unlockables can be excluded using their namespaced keys, because some unlockables handle item restoration themselves or don't play well with items reparenting to them. By default, all pocket rooms from Pocket Rooms MelanieMelicious, Beanies Pocket Rooms and MisideItems, and all unlockables from Melanie Crafting Core and Farming and Cooking Mod MelanieMelicious are blacklisted by default.

Recommendation

  • Matty Fixes
  • Fixes bad item rotations, important if you want vanilla items to reparent to furniture properly with this mod
  • BasedDecorPlacement

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
