Step 2

Time to cook

Once you start the cooking process, it will analyze the depot and files we used + begin packaging them.

This means:

  • optimising the mod files

  • creating the mod bundles (like .zip files)

  • creating various caches (also .zip files but for textures, collision etc)

  • creating some metadata

This files will be saved in your mod directory in the \packed folder.

The full process can take up to a couple of minutes - it depends on the complexity of the mod.

Once the process is complete, press Next.
