Conductor

Overview

Conductor is a modding library for Monster Train 2, providing a growing collection of reusable effects, status effects, triggers, and keywords.
It’s designed to make modding safer, cleaner, and easier by abstracting away repetitive or risky code.

Conductor builds on top of Trainworks-Reloaded and adds additional utilities, APIs, and hooks for advanced mod development.

Installation

For Players

If you install a mod that depends on Conductor, it will automatically be downloaded by your mod manager (e.g. r2modman).
No manual setup is needed.

For Developers

1. Add Conductor to your dependencies in thunderstore.toml:

   [package.dependencies]
   Conductor-Conductor = "0.4.1"
   

2. If testing locally, download the latest release and extract it into your BepInEx/plugins folder.

3. If you’re using Conductor’s utility functions as part of your build:

   • Add a package reference to your .csproj:

     <PackageReference Include="Conductor" Version="0.4.1" />
     

Usage

Check out the Conductor Wiki for setup guides, API references, and examples.

Important: Do not copy any code or JSON directly from this repository. Many assets depend on Conductor internals and will not function standalone. Instead, reference Conductor’s effects, statuses, and utilities within your own project.
