Now, players can enjoy these features without the need for additional modifications.
Simple Game Framework Devkit Update with Steamboat Willie Game Example

This example showcases the capabilities of the SGF Devkit and provides game developers with a starting point for creating their own games. The Steamboat Willie example is a fun and interactive game that players can enjoy.
CrossARK System Enabled for Official Servers

The Steamboat Willie Skin and Structure Mod is a great addition for players who enjoy customization and personalization in their games.
Approved Set of Custom Cosmetics for Official Servers
- Official Servers now have an approved set of custom cosmetics featured on the Mods UI page. These custom cosmetics have been carefully curated and tested to ensure compatibility and stability on Official Servers. This curated list provides players with a selection of high-quality custom cosmetic items to choose from. Server administrators have the option to modify the approved list by adjusting the “CosmeticWhitelistOverride” option in the GameUserSettings.ini file.
Disable Custom Cosmetic System on Your Server
- In case server administrators want to disable the custom cosmetic system on their server, they can do so by using the “-DisableCustomCosmetics” command line parameter.
