Ship Systems CSV

Description

A .system file and a ship_systems.csv entry contain information about a ship system. Ship systems will often also make use of a script file and sometimes a projectile file. ship_systems.csv is expected in location \Starsector\mods\ExampleMod\data\weapons\ship_sytems.csv .

Elements

At the very top of ship_systems.csv, you will see a list of categories. Going from left to right, the function of each will be described:

name

The human-readable name of the ship system that is displayed in-game. This isn't the internal name for the weapon.

id

This is the internal name that is recognized by the code in the background. When modding, this ship system will be referenced everywhere by this ship system ID. It will be used in the Ship Data CSV, .system file and scripts. Remember, if you want to reference this somewhere else, it is this designation that you use, not the one above. This must be unique within the mod, vanilla files and also any other mods. For this reason it is highly recommended to add some form of unique prefix such as myuniquemod_shipsystemid

regen

Charges regenerated per second.

down

Number of seconds for the system to "spin down". Will generally not have its full effect during this time.
