Welcome to the Outer Wilds Unity Wiki!

This is a knowledge base for all Unity-related Outer Wilds things. It uses GitHub wikis instead of its own site to make it as low-maintenance and easy to contribute to as possible.

Getting Started

This teaches you how to go from having nothing to having an assetbundle that you can load in game.

Make sure to grab the latest version of unity-assets when you start a new project, as updates fix bugs and improve tools!

  1. Getting access and using the Unity Assets repository
  2. Using Git/GitHub with your project (good for collaboration)
  3. (if using a game rip) Ripping the game
  4. (if using a game rip) Transferring game assets from your rip to your project
  5. Using scripts from your mod in editor
  6. Exporting your mod assets into AssetBundles for use in NH
