How to install with r2Modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager - Catman-232/Homebrewery GitHub Wiki

^{This page was up to date as of version 4.6.40}
I suggest r2modman over Thunderstore's Mod Manager. Besides being better, the other keeps running into issues, especially for Homebrewery. Such as missing folders or being unable to install at all.

1. Go to Homebrewery's Thunderstore page and click the "Install with Mod Manager" button.
   
   
   You might get a message window popup that looks like this:
   
   This is just your web browser asking if you want it to open and/or call upon the mod manager, click "Open Link" and it will do its work.
   
   You should end up with this, you probably know this already if you've used this mod manager before.
   

2. It's installed, yes, but you should probably familiarise yourself with where custom items/parts go if you want to make some stuff locally. In the Settings pane, under the Locations tab, there is the button "Browse profile folder".
   
   
   Clicking on that will open Windows Explorer to the folder that represents your BepInEx install and the mods you have.
   
   
   Go into BepInEx, into config, ContentPacks and then User-CustomStuff
   
   
   
   This folder mimics a blank content pack without any of the Thunderstore metadata files, if you're after a template for your content pack then I'd instead recommend cloning Catman-ExamplePack and removing the example items.

If you are using Thunderstore Mod Manager, you may notice some missing folders, this is because TSMM skips copying folders that are empty. You can go to

%APPDATA%\Thunderstore Mod Manager\DataFolder\ATLYSS\cache\Catman232-Homebrewery

(Or use Run), open the folder with the Homebrewery version you installed, and copy the ContentPacks folder from \VERSION\config\ContentPacks and drag it to the one in your local config folder instead, click replace if prompted.
