S.O.S. (Standard Operations Schematics) - Beta
S.O.S. is a high-performance recipe browser and material tracking utility for Barotrauma. Designed to be the ultimate companion for both vanilla and heavily modded campaigns (like Neurotrauma or BaroCraftables), it provides a seamless, integrated interface to explore the complex economy of Europa.
WARN: Require actived LuaCsForBarotrauma to work!

Project Status: Beta
S.O.S is currently in its Beta stage. While the core functionality is stable, we are working towards deep integration with the game's mechanics and immersion.
This is a GitHub Project basecode.
Stay tuned for these updates as we move toward the 1.0 Full Release.
Common questions
Q: Can it be used on vanilla servers?
A: Absolutely. The most it will require from the server is new items, nothing more.
Q: Is this a client-only mod, or does it need to be included on the server?
A: Currently, it's entirely client-only. We plan for it to always be client-only, so you can use it even on a completely vanilla server without mods. If the server doesn't have it, then the full system unlocked in the beta version will be used.
Q: Is it really compatible with ALL in-game items?
A: Yes! Absolutely everything, including submarine parts that are impossible to obtain. I've decided not to exclude these items for now for descriptions and another useful metadata. If they bother you, you can create an issue in the Git project, leave a comment on itch.io, or contact me directly, and I'll prioritize it.
