Building the Ultimate Modding Ecosystem for Data Center 🛠️

Hi! 👋 I'm mleem97, the lead developer and architect behind the GregFramework and its wider modding ecosystem for the game Data Center.

My mission is simple: I want to make modding as accessible, stable, and powerful as possible for both players and developers. Creating mods shouldn't be a struggle against the game code—it should be a creative process.

To achieve this, I don't just build single mods; I build the entire infrastructure:

  • ⚙️ The Core API (gregFramework): The robust C# and Rust-based framework that allows developers to create complex mods safely.
  • 🧰 GregTools Mod Manager: A dedicated tool to make installing and managing mods a seamless experience for everyday players.
  • 📚 The Official Wiki (gregframework.eu): Comprehensive documentation and architectural guidelines to help new developers get started.
  • 🛒 Data Center Mod Store (datacentermods.com): A centralized, safe hub for the community to discover and share their creations.

Why Sponsorship Matters:
I believe that modding should be open and accessible to everyone. That’s why the GregFramework operates under a strict Non-Commercial (NC-NR) license, and I enforce a strict "No Paywalls" policy. I don't hide my work behind mandatory Patreon subscriptions.

However, building and maintaining this ecosystem takes a massive amount of time, effort, and coffee ☕. Furthermore, running the infrastructure—specifically the servers for the Mod Store and the domains for the Wiki—comes with recurring out-of-pocket costs.

By sponsoring me, you directly support:

  1. Server Costs: Keeping datacentermods.com and gregframework.eu online, fast, and ad-free.
  2. Development Time: Allowing me to spend more hours reverse-engineering, fixing bugs, and implementing new features.
  3. The Open Ecosystem: Helping me keep the framework free of paywalls and commercial restrictions for the entire community.
  4. Code Signing: Codesigning makes the code more trustworthy to your OS, but its hella expensive. With your Sponsoring you help me fulfill that for you and the community!

Whether you're a player enjoying a stable modded game or a developer utilizing the GregFramework API—if my work has saved you time or brought you joy, a sponsorship is the best way to keep this project alive and growing.

Thank you for your support! 🚀
