Release Notes v116

Compatibility update for Captain of Industry Update 4
(manifest.json + new mod loading system)

Important Notes

• This is a maintenance release only. No new features have been added.
• Not everything has been fully tested yet. Some features may have bugs or behave differently.
• Saved games from previous versions should still load, but always back up your saves before testing.

What Changed

All Mods

• Migrated everything from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET Standard 2.1 to match Update 4.
• Updated all mod manifest files to the new required format.
• Converted projects to the modern SDK-style format.

COIExtended.Core

• Updated registrations for cargo ships, shipyards, locomotives, trucks, and cargo depots to work with the new builder APIs.
• Fixed the Modded Map Editor button so it loads correctly.
• Updated the New Game window patch for the redesigned main menu.

COIExtended.Cheats & Tweaks

• Reworked game speed controls (5x, 10x, etc.) to hook into the new input system.

COIExtended.RecipeMaker

• Fixed the Recipe Maker button on the main menu (Update 4 changed how the menu is built, so it now loads after you enable the mod).
• Fixed machine icons not displaying.
• Fixed custom icons from other COIExtended mods showing the “Coming Soon” placeholder.
• All existing custom recipe packs remain fully compatible.

How to use Recipe Maker after Update 4

1. Go to Mods menu → select COI:Extended.RecipeMaker → press “Continue”
2. Return to Main Menu — the Recipe Maker button will now appear.

Installation

1. Delete any old COI:Extended folder from your Mods directory.
2. Drop the new folder in (it now includes manifest.json).
3. Launch the game and enable the mod in the Mods menu.

Support

If you want to support continued maintenance:

Thank you to everyone who used and supported the mod over the years.
This release gets everything working again under the new rules — enjoy!

When starting the game, the population is starving right upon startup. Can you look into this?

As soon as you add a waste collection building
The food works as normal

This should be fully fixed without this workaround in the latest version, if you can confirm you are using the latest version and still have an Issue, please file another report.

How can the pre-created customized recipes be selected in the game?

[mufengmian]

The corresponding building did not have a custom recipe.

I've noticed that when laying tiles, I can't place them freely across the surface, I have to drag lines to do it. I'm wondering if this is caused by a mod. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

This is fixed in the latest version that is currently on experimental branch

Thank you so much for this update. I tried playing update 4 and after a few hours I couldnt take it. Went back to update 3 just to use this mod.

So, do I need to pay for a Patreon subscription to access this tool? Will it always be paid, or will it become generally available someday? Unfortunately, I can't pay for Patreon in my country.

No, nothing is ever paid, everything is always free, it's just a link, nobody will ever ask you for money for access to any type of mod. If anyone ever does they are in violation of the game's modding policy and may not be providing a safe download.

The information is just simply posted on that website.

[dEffoZ]

Hmm, then what could be causing this problem when clicking on a link to Discord?

[dEffoZ]

Oh, this link only works if I already have access to your Discord server. It was hard to find a link to your server.
Anyway, thank you so much!

For Vehicle Maker,I create a new Tree Harvester and a new Tree Planter,but they are not in new games.Other vehicle types are normal.Is this a BUG?

[mufengmian]

同样的问题，创建了新的配方，也没有出现在新的游戏中，难道作者还没完善？

[mufengmian]

The same issue was addressed by creating a new formula, but it still didn't appear in the new game. Could it be that the author hasn't yet completed the refinement?

[jimbob60]

thank god i was about to use ai to recreate the mods hahaha

[YanPF233]
