Understand What This Mod Does and Doesn't Fix

What It Prevents

This addon stops crashes caused by null DamageSource errors—a specific type of bug where another mod sends invalid damage information. It acts as a runtime safety layer, catching errors as they happen and replacing them with safe alternatives.

What It Doesn't Do

  • Doesn't fix the broken mod: The underlying problem remains in the other mod
  • Doesn't restore missing features: If damage behavior is broken, you lose that behavior
  • Doesn't improve performance: It only prevents crashes
  • Doesn't modify mod content: It doesn't change how other mods work, only how they fail

It's a Band-Aid, Not a Cure

Think of this addon as emergency stabilization. It keeps your game playable while a mod is broken, and it helps you identify which mod needs attention. The real solution is updating or fixing the problematic mod.

Best Used With

Pair this with DSNNULL Basic for comprehensive crash prevention. Together, they provide a safety net while you work on resolving the underlying mod conflicts in your pack.
