[Modding] Questions.

[Calfen]

Hello guys,
I have a couple questions related to modding.

1) The wiki page guide https://sta.paradoxwikis.com/Modding:_Basics does not work. I have followed it and there is no "Aftermath" option in "Create -> Aftermath -> Mod" step. Am I doing something wrong? Version mismatch? I have 2019.4.8f1.

2) Does anyone know how to modify stats of current buildings? I mean, let's say I want to change the range of electricity on transformer (honestly this concept eludes me)?

I am vaguely familiar with unity modding, Besides Unity itself, I have some other small utilities such as Assets bundle extractor, and those worked fine on for example Pillars of Eternity. I thought that I will modify some string table, but I cannot find the place in the database, where the characteristics of the buildings are.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

No idea.

You could be the guy to add stuff to the wiki, though. The modding scene must be sparse enough that tools for aspiring modmakers are unavailable. A very bad sign about the life of the game if you ask me. Bet Nexus Mods and Vortex could help, but that's not for me to mess with.

As for your second question, you COULD screw around with the game files directly. Some of the code you might need could be there anyway.

Warning: if you DO intend to modify values in the game files, back the files up BEFORE doing anything. That way, when you inevitably cause a CTD, you can restore the game to its original state. Since you know about modding enough to use buzzwords, this should be old hat for you.

Thanks for you answer. Well, the game is still in early access, so we will see how it goes. The problem is I am not "that" good at this as I though it would be easier. Anyway, happy holiday!
