ContentTool lets Phoenix Point mods replace shipped content, add new content, and build game objects from content and shipped definitions. It is the engine those mods use; installing ContentTool alone does not change the game.

Players: install in four steps

1. Download ContentTool-*.zip from the latest release. You should have a ZIP containing a ContentTool folder.
2. Extract that folder into <Phoenix Point>\Mods\. You should now have <Phoenix Point>\Mods\ContentTool\meta.json, with no second ContentTool folder in between.
3. Start Phoenix Point and open Mods. You should see Content Tool listed.
4. Tick Content Tool. You should see it enabled. Mods that declare ContentTool as a dependency can also enable it through the mod manager.

Modders

Start with the 10-minute quickstart. It gives you a complete, copy-paste texture replacement and shows what each step should produce.

Then use this map:

• Replace, Add or Build helps you choose the right kind of mod.
• The lifecycle explains baking, redirects, testing and packaging.
• Recipes give steps for individual content types.
• Find game content helps you identify shipped targets.
• The in-game bench does the common jobs on screen, step by step: replace a model, add a weapon and fit it, replace sounds and videos, then build & share the mod.
• Project files, console commands and messages explain the exact inputs and results.
• Examples show complete projects; known limitations records current boundaries.

ContentTool’s diagnostic developer commands require an empty ct-dev file beside ContentTool.dll; nothing on this site needs it.
