Yes — this is now planned and I’ve started exposing it in the 1.6.x rebuild line.
The first compatibility API is a runtime remote interface named biter-born. It focuses on the new Bio-Engine layer, so other mods can query creep saturation/support, place or spread creep in a controlled way, grow registered organs, register existing entities as Bio-Engine organs, and register their own living organ prototypes with BMR / creep-threshold / necrosis metadata.
The first API version is intentionally narrow because the 1.6 rebuild is still stabilizing the first-hour loop. I’m avoiding hooks into deferred 1.3–1.5 systems like assimilation and advanced logistics until those are rebuilt properly.
Basic discovery will look like:
if remote.interfaces["biter-born"] and remote.interfaces["biter-born"].get_capabilities then
local caps = remote.call("biter-born", "get_capabilities")
end
The docs are included in docs/remote-interface-1.6.2.md.
