Gold Mining Simulator

Description

Vortex game extension for Gold Mining Simulator (Unity Mono).

It discovers the Steam install, downloads BepInEx from GitHub when missing (via Vortex modtype-bepinex), and deploys the usual BepInEx mod layouts used on Nexus for this game — including archives that already contain a BepInEx/ folder.

Installation

1. Install the extension from Vortex / Nexus

2. Search for the game in Vortex, then click Manage

1. Download the archive

2. Open Vortex

3. Go to Home → Extensions

4. Drag and drop the file into "Drop File(s)"

5. Enable the extension

6. Restart Vortex

7. Go to Home → Games

8. Search for Gold Mining Simulator and click Manage

Then enable Bepis Injector Extensible (BepInEx) in the Mods page if Vortex offers it, and Deploy.

  Requirements

  - Vortex with the built-in modtype-bepinex extension

  - Gold Mining Simulator (Steam)

  Steam may install the game under a folder named "Gold Rush The Game". Discovery uses the Steam App ID, so the folder name does not matter. Required file: GoldMiningSimulator.exe.
