Dependencies & Supported Third Party Addons
The SDHI Service Module System parts pack derives some of its functionality from certain utilities plugins, while also providing support for others. Ensure that you have the latest version of all dependencies before installing and using this pack.
These add-ons are mandatory - without them, many parts will not work properly.
