Nautilus is the core Subnautica modding library that aims to enhance developer productivity by offering common helper utilities as easy to use and robust as possible.
Nautilus is a continuation of SMLHelper with a far cleaner codebase, more convenient workflow for modders, and greatly improved maintainability. It provides all the features SMLHelper previously did, along with several new additions, improvements to existing features, overhauls of documentation, and far less bugs thanks to rewrites of both surface-level and internal systems.
Following the Living Large update the majority of mods were left broken and in need of fixes, but before any of the mods could be updated all authors first needed to wait for QModManager to be fixed, which has been the case for over 5 years now (as of 2023). So, in light of the update, we took the opportunity to finally retire QMM, removing the middle-step in the modding process, removing the need for authors to wait for QMM to update before they can update their own mods in the event of game updates, and opening the door to more versatility for modders through BepInEx.
