Style — what it means
ProfessionalTeam-maintained, commercial-grade. Versioned releases, changelog, issues answered. Safe to build a world around — it'll be updated before the next Foundry release lands.
HobbySolo developer, passion project. Often better designed than professional ones, but tied to one person's free time. Fine to depend on; keep a fallback in mind.
EntrySmall and simple by design. Does one thing, easy to read, easy to fork if the author disappears. The safest kind of dependency because you could maintain it yourself.
VibeLoosely assembled, largely AI-generated. Works today, unpredictable under updates — often no tests, no error handling, and settings that silently do nothing. Useful, but never on a live world without a backup.
Flag tiers
Azure edgeGood to go — verified on your current version, or core to every world.
Brass edgeNeeds attention — update available, awaiting a fix, conflicting, or missing a dependency.
Grey edgeInformational — abandoned, retired, on trial, or performance-heavy but functional.
