First of all

I heard that anything to do with items has changed, so I don't know how it has changed and if you need to do a bunch of extra things to get mods that include items to work for Build 42. Hopefully somebody could create a guide for that if that's the case.

How to do it

Basically everything is like it was, except you have to add two new folders.
One folder you will name 42, and the other common.
You will leave the common folder alone, put nothing in it.

But for the 42 Folder, you will copy the media, mod.info, and poster.png files (I REPEAT COPY, NOT MOVE) and paste them into the 42 Folder.
(As well as the icon.png file if you have one)

After that, your mod is compatible with Build 42 and is ready to be updated!

After doing this my whole mod just stops working. I’ll see what I can do about it…

"One folder you will name 42, and the other common.
You will leave the common folder alone, put nothing in it." Might be useful to say *where* to add them.

Will this work the other way around? I want to port the Tetris Pocket Update to my mod build on build 41

@aburntChicken_ He just showed you how to do it. Do it yourself. It's incredibly easy and is perfectly spelled out.

One thing I'm having is to go to sleep. For some reason my r1 is supposed to be my right click but no options are popping up. :/

@psychoticcrackr I'm pretty sure a fuel side indicator got added to base game Build 42, I don't think you need a mod for it no more

Mod makers explaining why updating their mod is the most complicated process in the world and will take months and 1000's of dollars:
