• Expansion = AddOn, Mod, OXP, OXZ

• Hyperspace = the space which the witchspace wormhole tunnel traverses between two different star systems

• Mod = AddOn, Expansion, OXP, OXZ

• OXP = this term can be used in two senses: any AddOn, Expansion, Mod, OXP or OXZ or an unzipped AddOn, Expansion or Mod which often contains a Requires.plist. Those with a Manifest.plist can be managed by Oolite Starter.

• OXZ = this usually refers specifically to a zipped AddOn, Expansion, Mod, OXP. They must contain a manifest.plist file. When downloaded through the built-in Expansion Manager, they are stored in the ManagedAddOns folder. However, they can be manually installed into the AddOns folder as per other OXPs. OXZ files in the ManagedAddons folder are managed by the in-game Expansions Manager and by Oolite Starter
