📋 About This Mod

--- UPDATE 21st Dec 2022 ---

I have concluded that VersionChecker will take considerable work to update for Subnautica 2. 0 Living Large, mainly due to the fact that mods for 2. 0 will be moving from QModManager to BepInEx.

This changes the way that VersionChecker will need to work under the hood, so it will require a redesign of some of the technical aspects.

I plan to begin work on these changes after Christmas, but please be patient as they may take some time to perfect.

In the meantime, you may still use VersionChecker on the legacy branch as normal.

--- ATTENTION ---

The Subnautica Living Large update - also referred to as the Subnautica 2. 0 update or Modpocalypse update - has been released.

This update adds many cool new things to the game, but it also breaks the vast majority of mods, including QMM itself.

At the moment, my main focus is updating my most popular mod - SnapBuilder - for the update. I expect to have it released within the next 48 hours if not sooner.

After that, I will be going through each of my mods and assessing how viable they are in Subnautica 2. 0, and how much time it will take to release an updated version.

In the meantime, if you play on Steam, you can continue playing Subnautica with all of your QMM mods by switching to the legacy branch - i.e. downgrading your Subnautica to the last version which QMM still worked for. You can find the option to switch to the legacy branch under the Betas section of the game Properties in your Steam Library.
