✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 3,509 endorsements and 275k downloads show this is a go-to framework.
- Essential for modders – if you're building ship mods, this is the backbone for clean categories.
- Lightweight and focused – does one thing and does it well, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Does nothing on its own – you need other mods that actually use these categories.
- Potential compatibility issues – since it's a framework, updates to the game or other mods could break it.
For Starfield modders and players who install ship part mods that require SBC as a dependency. If you're a player who just wants more ship parts, you'll likely need this in the background. Skip if you don't use ship mods or mod at all.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of dependencies.
- Check if the ship mods you want require SBC – it's often listed as a requirement on their pages.
- If you're not seeing categories in the Ship Builder, make sure SBC is enabled and load order is correct.
