Remember, like most NMS mods & tools, this relies on libMBIN.dll (MBINCompiler) to work.
MBINCompiler has to be updated when a new update is released for the game; this may take several weeks.
During that time most mods will be broken.  Be patient.

Requires .NET 5 Desktop x64 for versions up to  3.82.1.
Requires .NET 6 Desktop x64 for versions 3.82.2.2 onwards.
Requires .NET 8 Desktop x64 for versions 4.64.0.0 onwards.
