Hey as a heads up, when loading a new single player game, I noticed this error in the console:

"[Error :Beef's Recipes] Failed to save notes: The directory name is invalid : 'C:\Users\Moonlit\Documents\My Games\Stationeers\saves\Mars: The Canyon'
[Error :Beef's Recipes] Error saving notes to ModTesting: The directory name is invalid : 'C:\Users\Moonlit\Documents\My Games\Stationeers\saves\Mars: The Canyon'"

Seems like it's pulling the world instead of the save name?

Probably related to the recent update as this is new, thanks for the heads up

This seems to break multiplayer, at least for now. Removing it allowed a friend to connect to my game. Before, connection failed repeatedly. I was getting an error from the mod about a filepath having a ':' in it being illegal.

No worries, that just isn't a regex I have implemented in the markdown parser but I can do this in the next update. If you have any other ideas or issues you find as you are using feel free to drop here or as github issues

SUPER minor complaint but it caught me out - checkboxes don't render if using asterisk lead list entries, only with hyphenated ones

- [ ] I render as expected
* [ ] I render as plaintext

Multiplayer support almost here - in testing there's a relatively limited set of bugs yet to work through. Biggest task remaining is the in-game help button that explains how everything works since it's got quite a lot of functionality.

In addition to text notes, will also support sharing in-game drawings, since some things are easier to explain with a drawing. No screenshots/photos support until I have a decent moderation system in place though

I know, it's in the works

Any chance to get this working in multiplayer & server?
Since in multiplayer only the host can use the tab.
While on server No one can use it.
