    This extension adds Vortex Mod Manager support for the Steam version of Sovereign Tower.

      []Restart Vortex if requested. [/]

    For Mod Authors

    Compatible mods use a lightweight package format built around a

    manifest_nexus.jsonfile and STDP patch data.

    This allows mods to modify individual resources inside the game's PCK without distributing a complete modified

    sovereign_tower.pck.

    The system supports:

    • []Existing resource patches [/]

      []New PCK resources [/]

      []Godot scripts [/]

      []Autoload registration [/]

      []Forward and reverse patches[/]

      []Multi-mod deployment and restoration [/]

    Documentation and example packages for mod authors may be expanded in future releases.

    Compatibility

    This extension modifies the game's PCK only during Vortex deployment.

    Compatible mods are restored and reapplied in a controlled order whenever the active mod configuration changes.

    Mods that manually replace

    sovereign_tower.pck, use their own external patching tools, or modify the same resources in an incompatible way may conflict with Vortex-managed mods.
