[API] Gem Core - Now with shard networking!

[zarklord_klei]

Hi fellow modders

After a very long time working on it, I'm happy to announce a brand new mod API that allows one to finally send data from shards to other shards it can be found at: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1378549454

This isn't the only thing it can do though and be sure to check out the wiki(linked below) to see all its features

How to use:
Go to the gem core wiki to see all its functionality: https://github.com/Zarklord/GemCore/wiki

Very special thanks to:

@Fidooop who made sure stuff was done right
@rezecib for his wonderful upvalue hacker

Some frequently asked questions: (If you have any more questions post them down below! I'll reply as soon as I can!)

How do I use it?
The tutorial is up above! It has all the usable functions inside and how to use them! Please don't rip the code and put it in your mod through... Make sure that when you upload your mod you add this mod as a required item, and use the LibraryManager module to auto subscribe and download it (It is set up this way so that the same code doesn't run multiple times if someone has multiple mods that use this library!)

What is an API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of functions which allows you to use advanced techniques without having to write your own code or copy/paste the code in your mod... In order to use this API you must add this mod as a requirement on your mods workshop page.

What mods are currently using this to do shard networking:
currently just one mod, but as more mods get released, I plan on keeping this list up to date as possible:

Hi @zarklord_klei what is the/your current status? I see your github gemapi page was removed?
I'm currently looking for the new version of librarymanager.ua, cause the recent game update broke it.

Congrats for being an developer now hope there will still be a documenation on your gemapi and library?
