This will be the new home, on Patreon, for FVM core files and ongoing updates. The file attached includes all core files and updates as well as a few variations as a suggestion of the folder structure you can use to maintain your file base as the system grows. All future variations and add-ons will be handled as typical monthly releases and will be archived to MMF on our normal schedule. Jump to list of changes.

File Versions and Folder Structure

Because FVM is a system that will continue to be added to and improved over time, I've put together some basic house keeping measures in place to make storing and updating your file base easier.

Each new update to the core FVM files will include all core files. Files that have been updated will be recognizable with a "_RXX" in the file name. I've also added folders to store files for components that have additional variations such as Hopper Screens and Hopper Faces.

Please let me know if you would like to see any other changes to how I maintain the file base.
