Making mods of other mods requirements.

[Rexow]

I'm new to moding in Rimworld, and I'm wonder if there are any requirements for making mods of other mods. I'm trying to make my first mod based on Android tiers and I'm trying to add new Android. I wonder if I need to incude something in About folder or will it make connection automaticly, becos obviously having original mod is required for my mod to work.

Since most mod's got a licenze it isn't possible for you to use the code of someone else mod at your mod (special when you like to made your mod public).
But when your mod just need another mod as requirement, you can use the def's of these mod and patch that mod like you want.

You don't really need to add anything extra in your about folder etc.
As long as the required mod is loaded first in the mod order, your addon-mod should "automatically connect" like you put it

you should just make two or more mods that declare (somewhat) def of same name (including def name already existing in vanilla) and perform test.

it's actually much faster then asking on forum and provide real results.
