Missing dependencies (e.g., BoneLib). | Double-check the file path: Android/data/com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB/files/Mods . Ensure the mod is for Quest/Android, not PC. Check if a required library mod is missing. | | Game Crashes on Startup | Corrupted or conflicting mods. Version mismatch. | Remove all mods from the Mods folder. If the game works again, reinstall your mods one by one to find the culprit. | | Lemon Loader Fails to Patch | Missing OBB files. Corrupted Bonelab installation. | Ensure the OBB folder ( Android/obb/com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB ) is present and contains data. If missing or patching fails, you may need to reinstall Bonelab from the Quest Store. | | Long Load Times | Normal, especially after adding many code mods. | This is to be expected. The mod loader needs time to inject all the code at launch. Be patient. |
