Installation

Winch

• Download the latest version of Winch here by clicking on Winch-[stage]-[version].zip under Assets.
• Navigate to your downloads folder, and extract the file by right clicking and clicking Extract All.
• Copy the contents of that extracted folder into your install folder at /Steam/steamapps/common/DREDGE.
• Which should look something like this:

DREDGE/
├── DREDGE_DATA/
├── MonoBleedingEdge/
├── 0Harmony.dll
├── doorstop_config.ini
├── DREDGE.exe
├── UnityCrashHandler32.exe
├── UnityPlayer.dll
├── Winch.dll
└── winhttp.dll

• When you now launch the game, Winch will generate a further WinchConfig.json file, as well as Logs/ and Mods/ folders.
• Winch will display in the bottom right corner of the main menu if it has loaded correctly, displaying the current build, number of mods loaded, and whether there is an update for Winch available.

Mods

• Download the .zip file of the mod you wish to install.
• Extract that .zip file, and copy the resulting folder into the Mods/ folder in your DREDGE install. Create the folder if you do not have it.
• Check that mods follow the following format, otherwise they will not load. (Mods may include more folders/files, however this is the minimum.)

DREDGE/
└── Mods/
    └── ExampleMod/
        ├── ExampleMod.dll
        └── mod_meta.json
