sm.scrapcomputers

All data inside the sm.scrapcomputers namespace!

tip

You don't have to load this at all, The sm table is globably shared across mods, this means once its loaded. you can access it in any mod, even if you didnt load it.

It's suggested to still load the config file in the AutoTool scripts so it can load as soon as possible as Scrap Mechanic loads the mods from newest to oldest.
