Installation Tutorial with Images

You will need the most recent version of both the mod and the official version of the game.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO UNINSTALL THE MOD WITHOUT NEEDING TO REDOWNLOAD THE GAME, PLEASE CREATE COPIES OF THE TWO FILES SELECTED AS "ORIGINAL FILES" DURING THE TUTORIAL BEFORE PATCHING AND STORE THEM IN A SEPERATE FOLDER. Then, to uninstall the mod, replace the modded files with those original copied files. Do not use backup in Delta Patcher to accomplish this.

Step 1: Install Delta Patcher using this link: Release Delta Patcher v3.1.5 · GitHub. Choose one of the three installations marked with the arrows below based on your current operating system.

Step 2: Run Delta Patcher.

Step 3: Click the file icon on Delta Patcher next to "original file" and select the Archipelagates game folder. Select Archipelagates_Data and click open.

Step 4:  Select the Managed folder and click open.

Step 5: Select Assembly-CSharp.dll and click open.

Step 6: Click the file icon next to "XDelta patch" in Delta Patcher and select the Archipelagates Growth Mod folder. Select ArchGrowthModAssemblyPatch and click open.

Step 7: Click the gear icon on Delta Patcher and make sure backup original file is not selected and checksum validation is selected.

Step 8: Click Apply patch in Delta Patcher. Assuming you have the correct mod version, game version, and followed the process correctly, you should see a message pop up saying the patch applied successfully. If not, please read the mod FAQ on the main mod page.

Step 9: Repeat this exact process with different files. Inside the managed folder is a "com...fluid-rendering-for-games.dll" file you can see in step 5. Use that as the original file and use the ArchGrowthModFluidPatch in the growth mod folder as the XDelta patch. Click apply and ok.

If both patches successfully apply, the mod is installed correctly. If any issues with installing or using the mod arise, please read the FAQ on the main mod page for help.
