@petera1289 Okay, thank you for the request. Let me add more information to this guide.

petera1289 11 月 15 日上午 3:13

perhaps add some of the really ** basic info ...
which files can be changed
where they are stored (path)
whether we need to put our work in a location eg typically \mod\{mod name}

and include sample data for each field within the examples eg I assume from the structure that adding (goods defined separately) to the market items field would look like:-
"market_items": {
TradeGood1,
TradeGood2},

unless for some reason my trade good name has a comma requiring [] to block the parsing

That's good to hear that you're working on a ship mod - looking forwards to seeing it.

digital-tectonics [作者] 7 月 25 日下午 5:19

Yes, I have been working on a ship mod to use as an example.

Leebee 7 月 18 日上午 6:05

Please can you add some info about how to create a new mod locally as well as how to add a new ship in the mod manifest?

Thanks!
