Mod Support

#Mod Support

We support a pretty big selection of mods in the Skyhawk Science System. In order to help organize them, I've created a system that I call "dependency levels" to help explain how they all fit in. There a few different tiers of dependency levels, which go as follows:

Hard Requirement - Must be installed for SSS to properly function (Ex. Community Resource Pack)

Soft Requirement - Aren't truly required for SSS to function properly, but are required for certain features to work, such as fuel cell and ntr switches (Ex. Rational Resources)

Integrated - Alongside everything in supported, custom mechanics are made compatible with SSS balance, and custom science experiments and parts are rebalanced to fit SSS (Ex. Coatl Aerospace)

Supported - Parts are given SSS tech placements, and basic patches (hypergolic engines and tankswitches) are applied, but other things, such as custom science experiments or custom mechanics are not (Ex. DeepFreeze)

Supported/Integrated (with a *) - Mods within their respective tiers which I highly recommend considering for your playthrough, as they help to fill out empty parts of the tree, and otherwise are very enjoyable to play

*Kopernicus is required in order to get the custom science multipliers, and is thus recommended for proper balance. As this tech tree is designed w/ 2.5 scale in mind anyways, I assume most people will already have it.

**NFE support is available for both the current release, and the incomplete update on github. Either one works, but you will lose out on some reactors with either version

Editors Note - notepad++'s feature to add text at the beginning of the line w/ ^ and at the end with $ is really handy for making big tables like this!
