Mod Compatibility

Current Status

Section titled “Current Status”

Asset-Only Mods

Section titled “Asset-Only Mods”

Some asset-only mods (particularly part mods) may work out of the box with Redux, but we do not guarantee compatibility at this time.

What are asset-only mods?

  • Part mods that only add models, textures, and configs
  • Visual mods that replace textures or models
  • Mods without code/plugins

Code Mods

Section titled “Code Mods”

Most code-based mods will require updates to work with Redux:

What Changed?

Section titled “What Changed?”
  1. Mod Loader: Transition from BepInEx to integrated mod loader
  2. Modding API: Improvements and changes to the modding API
  3. Core Systems: Some game systems have been rewritten (e.g., TransformFrame)

For Mod Users

Section titled “For Mod Users”

Be patient as mod developers update their mods for Redux compatibility. Check the mod’s page or contact the developer for Redux compatibility status.

For Mod Developers

Section titled “For Mod Developers”

We are actively working on:

  • Modding Documentation: Comprehensive guides for Redux modding
  • Migration Assistance: Helping modders update their mods
  • Unmaintained Mods: Updating popular unmaintained mods ourselves

Redux Modding SDK

Section titled “Redux Modding SDK”

Redux introduces a revolutionary modding experience:

Unity Editor Integration

Section titled “Unity Editor Integration”
  • Test mods by running KSP2 directly in Unity Editor
  • Iterate in seconds instead of minutes
  • Access Unity’s full debugging and development tools
  • Use custom inspectors and Unity package libraries

Benefits for Modders

Section titled “Benefits for Modders”
  1. Rapid Iteration: Changes can be tested immediately
  2. Better Debugging: Full Unity debugging tools at your disposal
  3. Easier Development: No compile-test-restart cycle
  4. Better APIs: Improved and more comprehensive modding endpoints

See our blog post on Unity Editor integration for more details.

Checking Mod Compatibility

Section titled “Checking Mod Compatibility”

Before Installing a Mod

Section titled “Before Installing a Mod”
  1. Check if the mod page mentions Redux compatibility
  2. Look for “Redux” or “v0.2.2.0+” in the supported versions
  3. Check the mod’s discussion page or Discord for Redux compatibility info
  4. Test in a separate Redux install if possible

After Installing a Mod

Section titled “After Installing a Mod”
  • Watch for errors in the logs
  • Test functionality thoroughly
  • Report issues to the mod developer (not the Redux team unless you’re sure it’s a Redux issue)
