Mod Maker FS22

The Mod Maker FS22 tool defines a formal mod model for Farming Simulator 22, enabling creators to declare mod metadata, organize assets, and specify dependencies. It targets individual modders, small studios, and community creators who build vehicles, buildings, maps, textures, or scripts and want a repeatable workflow from concept to distribution. It reduces manual errors in manifest generation and asset referencing, enabling faster iteration and more reliable in-game compatibility.
The core logic provides a schema-driven input surface, deterministic mod_id generation, automated manifest.json creation, and a ZIP export that preserves a standardized folder structure. It validates required fields, checks asset existence, ensures relative paths, and reports inconsistencies before packaging.
Inputs cover mod_name, game_version, mod_type, assets, dependencies, author, and platform; outputs include package_path and manifest_json. Optional features support licensing, multiple asset types, and scripting integrations for advanced mods. Error handling catches missing inputs, invalid versions, or unresolved dependencies, and it never executes mod scripts as part of packaging.
Industry and localization concerns are addressed by using standard FS22 conventions, clear versioning, and region-neutral packaging. Assumptions include adherence to FS22 mod packaging norms; exclusions include in-game testing, performance optimization, and store submission workflows.
