mlieCamouflage and Stealth Mod provides a framework for implementing Camouflage and Stealth (CAS) mechanics for apparel, enabling passive camouflage, active stealth, and observation-related sight improvements.
Camouflage and Stealth Features
Camouflage and Stealth Mod is designed primarily as a framework for other mod authors, but it also introduces configurable gameplay systems players can interact with.
- Passive camouflage: Apparel patterns and coloration that help pawns blend into their environment.
- Active camouflage (stealth): Advanced technological camouflage that actively disguises the wearer.
- Observation modifiers: Apparel and equipment can slightly modify sight capabilities, enabling functional optics and limited counters to camouflage.
- Mod options: Settings available to fine-tune camouflage behavior.
- Multiplayer support: Includes native multiplayer compatibility.
Framework usage
Camouflage and Stealth Mod allows mod authors to add:
- Passive camouflage via apparel.
- Active camouflage via apparel.
- Sight and observation improvements via apparel or equipment.
For full technical details and patching instructions, refer to the included PDF documentation (recommended for both players and mod authors).

Compatibility notes
It is recommended to start a new game when using Camouflage and Stealth Mod, especially alongside mods that add related content. Removing the mod may initially cause errors that should subside after subsequent loads.
A PDF is provided listing mods patched to support terrain and biome-related camouflage behavior.
- Incompatible with: CE / CE:FT, due to Combat Extended using its own line-of-sight and detection mechanics.
- If errors occur, test with only Camouflage and Stealth Mod and its requirements enabled, then add other mods gradually.
- Always share logs using the Log Uploader when reporting issues.
- Use the Discord error-reporting channel for support. Avoid discussion threads, as the author may not be notified.
- If you find a fix, submit it to the GitHub repository.
- Use RimSort to sort your mods.
