Finishing what I started a couple years ago, the packaging system now packages .rsi files into single .rsic files. This means a single .rsi "file" (1 + N files) becomes a single file when packaged. This should improve performance on game startup, downloading, etc etc. The total file count for SS14 goes down from 30,000 to 6,000 (with the previous change for merging text files too). Mostly just involved shuffling a bunch of the RSI loading code around so that it can be re-used for this purpose nicely. The original prototype in the code was copy-pasted, which obviously couldn't be relied upon. This does mean that if you're loading an RSI's interior PNG directly via a texture path, that PNG will now be unavailable on packaged builds. To avoid this, you can set "rsic": false in the meta.json, so that it gets left alone by the pass.
Robust Toolbox is an engine primarily being developed for Space Station 14, although we're working on making it usable for both singleplayer and multiplayer projects.
Use the content repo for actual development, even if you're modifying the engine itself.

Documentation/Wiki
The wiki has documentation on SS14s content, engine, game design and more. We also have lots of resources for new contributors to the project.
Contributing
We are happy to accept contributions from anybody. Get in Discord or IRC if you want to help. We've got a list of issues that need to be done and anybody can pick them up. Don't be afraid to ask for help either!
Building
This repository is the engine part of SS14. It's the base engine all SS14 servers will be built on. As such, it does not start on its own: it needs the content repo. Think of Robust Toolbox as BYOND in the context of Space Station 13.
