Technical Details (For Modders)

As of PlateUp! 1.3.0, the game shifted to strict AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation and native Networking to support cross-platform play.

This mod has been updated to use the new native ECS multiplayer architecture:

• Custom data is synchronized via IModComponent structs (CCountUpAppliance and CCountUpItem).
• These components are placed in the Kitchen namespace and use [MessagePackObject] attributes so the networking engine recognizes and synchronizes them to all clients.
• Host Identity logic is managed by NetworkingUtils.IsHost() which utilizes snapshots of the network peer list. This ensures that only the host populates shared components.
• View systems are unrestricted to ensure local UI updates on all machines, while the underlying data is host-authoritative.
• Menu registration now uses PreferenceSystem
