– Does this mod have any DLC dependencies?
– Extra Ship Components NEXT does not explicitly require you to have any of DLCs, but some content will not be available unless you have a specific DLC active.
– Does this mod require a new game?
– No, Extra Ship Components NEXT does not require a new game, though, depending on the game state (particularly, leviathans), some technologies might remain unavailable.
– Can AI use new components?
– Yes. The only thing that might prevent AI from researching Extra Ship Components NEXT technologies is its own stupidity.
– What about mod compatibility?
– Extra Ship Components NEXT overwrites several vanilla icons to ensure that all components and technologies are distinct. No other vanilla files are changed. And as long vanilla technologies are known to the game, Extra Ship Components NEXT should work.
