Mods and version checks: keep first-game instructions separate

Check the target game, build and dependency before following a mod guide.

The sequel is a separate modding target

Mega Crit’s FAQ says first-game mods do not port easily because the sequel uses a different engine and architecture. It also discusses Workshop support and a dedicated modding community. A support statement alone does not verify a particular mod, loader or current compatibility.

A compatibility checklist

  1. Confirm the package explicitly targets Slay the Spire 2. A first-game install guide is not a sequel install procedure.
  2. Read the maintainer’s supported game build, loader and dependency versions. Record each before making a change.
  3. Look for the maintainer’s own installation and removal instructions. Keep an untouched backup where the game or mod documentation recommends one.
  4. If behavior changes, record whether the same issue occurs without the optional modification, using the author’s documented removal method. Do not delete arbitrary save files.
  5. For co-op, check the mod author’s multiplayer requirements rather than assuming every participant can use a different setup.

What we have not approved

This page does not distribute executable files or recommend an unreviewed loader. We have not tested a mod, a modded co-op session or a recovery procedure. Use the developer’s modding-channel link in the FAQ for current discussion.
