Nexus modsCollected Nexus pages show active Iron Nest mod listings.
Co-op modIron Nest co-op (mods/20) is the current full-release community co-op path in the local fact checklist and claims up to five players over Steam.
Official multiplayerFuture official Heavy Turret Simulator multiplayer is separate from community mods.
Synchrony statusSynchrony (mods/18) is not a dependency; it is a separate co-op mod for Demo v0.4.0 using MelonLoader 0.7.3.
Loader splitThe local fact checklist says mods/20 uses BepInEx 6 IL2CPP x64, while Synchrony uses MelonLoader; do not assume they can be installed together.
Full-release installCommunity notes say mods/20 has a bundled BepInEx package, or a DLL-only path for an existing BepInEx 6 IL2CPP bleeding-edge setup.
Known limitsCommunity notes list no mid-session join, host-authoritative firing, host-distributed typewriter text, and intentionally unsynced music / hand-drawn map marks / calculator input.
Proton noteFor Linux / Proton, community notes say BepInEx may need WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp.dll=n,b" %command%.
