BaNaNaS vs FICSIT.app

BaNaNaS is a free content service for OpenTTD, offering downloadable game content through its website and the OpenTTD client. Its catalog covers base graphics, sounds and music, NewGRFs, AIs and AI libraries, game scripts and their libraries, scenarios, and heightmaps. Listings can show item names, latest versions, upload dates, licenses, and project sites when provided. The service gives access to the latest content files and retains older versions so save games that use them can be loaded. Users are directed to download content through OpenTTD’s built-in content downloader. Dependency tracking is available. BaNaNaS is described as a volunteer project. Uploading requires users to read the terms and sign in via GitHub; contributors must be authors of the material and use a license compatible with its source material. Uploaders grant the OpenTTD team rights to distribute the latest content centrally and through the website, and to retain older versions. OpenTTD says session cookies are used for authenticated areas such as BaNaNaS, and that it does not use functional or third-party cookies.

FICSIT.app is the Satisfactory Mod Repository, a site for finding and sharing mods and user-contributed guides for Satisfactory. Its documentation describes more than 1,200 released mods. The Satisfactory Mod Manager connects to the repository and helps install mods, dependencies and the mod loader. Downloads are listed for Windows, Linux and macOS, and the homepage names the Epic and Steam versions of Satisfactory. Manual installation directions are available for users who do not want the manager. Mods can be written in Unreal Blueprint or C++, with community libraries also supporting JSON. The documentation says uploaded content is checked for malware and similar issues before approval. Mod pages must disclose specified uses of generative AI and external network connections, with stated exceptions for multiplayer interaction and game-to-game synchronization. Features cannot be locked behind payment, donations or subscriptions, though paid early access is allowed when public release is intended within a reasonable timeframe. FICSIT.app also provides GraphQL and REST APIs; its documentation recommends GraphQL because REST is not feature complete by design.
