What is Voltz Engine?

Voltz Engine is not an API, Lib, or Core Dep in any standard modding concept. It is actually designed as a functional mod and content creation framework. Meaning any mod that uses it is actually an addon for Voltz Engine. Rather than a mod that simple uses Voltz Engine as a lib.

What Makes Voltz Engine a mod?

Voltz Engine comes pre-built with content that can be access by any mod. Mainly ore, ingots, dust, rubble, and parts. Things that every mod keeps replicating over and over again in order to allow game balance crafting. Don't fear though all content is disable by default and is only enabled at request by a mod. So if no mod requests the content then VE loads up empty.
