Kiln 0.2.0-dev.26 ================= Kiln is a mod framework and launcher for Enshrouded: C# and native mods, mod profiles, local dedicated servers and their administration. Built 2026-11-12 from commit d0fdb64 (dev channel). Kiln is MIT licensed (LICENSE); third-party licences are in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt; CREDITS.md says whose work Kiln builds on. Enshrouded is a trademark of Keen Games GmbH. Kiln is not affiliated with or endorsed by Keen Games. Which file do I want? --------------------- Most players want the Kiln Launcher. It installs Kiln into the game, manages mods and profiles, and updates itself. Linux linux/kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_amd64.AppImage One file, no install: make it executable and run it. It updates itself in place. chmod +x kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_amd64.AppImage && ./kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_amd64.AppImage Or the package: linux/kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_amd64.deb (Debian, Ubuntu) A package install is updated by downloading the next package, not by the launcher. Linux x86_64: glibc 2.35+ and desktop libraries (Ubuntu 22.04 baseline; SteamOS/Steam Deck). Windows windows/kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_x64-setup.exe Installs for your user (no administrator rights). It updates itself. Windows SmartScreen may warn that the publisher is unknown: the setup program is not code-signed yet. Choose More info > Run anyway, after checking its SHA256 below. Then open the launcher, let it find Enshrouded in your Steam libraries, and press Install on Play. The launcher carries the matching Kiln runtime (0.2.0-dev.26+20261112.d0fdb64). Add mods: download the mod archive in your browser, then drop it on the launcher window or import it through Library. This works without a Nexus account in the launcher or a Mod Manager Download handler. Server owners and tinkerers: runtime/kiln-server-0.2.0-dev.26.zip the server pack: unzip it into a dedicated server's folder (also over FTP on a rented server); KILN-SERVER-README.txt inside runtime/kiln-runtime-0.2.0-dev.26.zip the Kiln runtime alone, for a dedicated server or a manual install runtime/kilnctl, runtime/kilnctl.exe the command line that installs it (runtime/INSTALL-RUNTIME.txt) runtime/*.service, runtime/*.timer systemd user units for a kilnctl server on Linux Mod authors: sdk/*.nupkg the Kiln SDK (Kiln.Sdk, Kiln.Api, Kiln.Templates 0.2.0-dev.26) for `dotnet new kiln-mod` sdk/kiln, sdk/kiln.exe the `kiln` command line (new, build, run, deploy, lint, pack, ...) sdk/kiln-vscode-0.1.0.vsix the VS Code extension (Extensions: Install from VSIX...) samples/*.zip sample mods; import a zip in the launcher's Library source/kiln-0.2.0-dev.26-src.tar.gz the source of this release Use the SDK from a folder: dotnet new install "/sdk/Kiln.Templates.0.2.0-dev.26.nupkg" dotnet new kiln-mod -n MyMod Checking the downloads ---------------------- SHA256SUMS lists every file of this release: Linux: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS Windows: Get-FileHash .\windows\kiln-launcher_0.2.0-dev.26_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 (compare with its line in SHA256SUMS) The launcher's own updates are signed (minisign, Ed25519); the launcher refuses any update whose signature does not match its built-in key. The .sig files next to the AppImage and the setup program are those signatures. Updates: the launcher checks frostdev.io (GitHub Releases if that fails) at start and every 6 hours. A check downloads one small file; nothing about you or your PC is sent. Settings > Updates turns it off or picks the channel (stable or dev).
