Linked addressables

Linked Addressables let a mod project use stock KSP2/Redux assets as persistent Unity references without copying those assets into the mod. You can browse the external catalog, create a linked project asset, drag it into serialized fields, and use linked prefabs as the source for visual prefab patches.

Guides

• Getting started explains the model, opens the catalog imported by ThunderKit, and creates a first link.

• Working with linked assets covers prefabs, ScriptableObjects, sub-assets, type compatibility, and references.

• Builds and troubleshooting covers mod packaging, standalone player builds, diagnostics, and common failures.

The normal workflow

1. Complete the normal Redux mod-project and ThunderKit setup.

2. Open Modding → Linked Addressables → Open Browser….

3. Find the stock asset by address, label, or type.

4. Create a linked asset under your project's Assets folder.

5. Assign it to a mod-owned prefab or ScriptableObject, or create a prefab patch from a linked prefab.

6. Build the mod through the supported pipeline and test the packaged result.

The linked project asset is an identity bridge, not a redistributable copy. Keep the game's Addressables source outside your mod and never package stock bundles as mod-owned content.
