FAQ

Why a NameIdMapping.json file?

The only way to make EmpyrionBackpackExtender store items by name instead of id is to use a NameIdMapping.json file. This allows for your virtual backpacks to work across different saves.

Why a 3rd party application to generate the file?

Unfortunately the mapping file isn't generated by EmpyrionBackpackExtender. Until now you can only get one by using ASTIC's other mod EmpyrionScripting.

How do I use the file once it's generated?

Once the file is generated the program will give you directions on how to use it.
