 ==When to Use Mod Dependencies==
 *The main occasion to use Mod Dependencies is when you want to distribute assets packs which include models, textures, materials, scripts, etc for people to use freely in their own mods.
 *Mod dependencies can help to reduce the mod size you want to distribute, as a big portion of the assets themselves are not actually included in the mod, but come from an external source.

 {{Note|The level editor will be able to pick on mod dependencies and will load the assets if there are any.}}

-In order to use a mod dependency, the [[HPL3/SOMA/Modding/Creating_a_Mod#Mod_Entry_File|entry file]] of the mod which uses the dependency needs to have a special attribute called <code>Depdencies</code>. It is a list of <code>UIDs</code> separated by commas.
