This is the table of contents for the modding tutorial. Here, you'll learn step by step how to create mods of gradually increasing complexity.
In light of little official documentation, most of the knowledge here was gained by experience, trial-and-error, decompiling and learning from the source. Keep in mind that RimWorld is a big game that underwent substantial code changes during its alphas. Some information you find may be outdated.
What's a mod?
A mod is a folder containing data the game reads/loads. Mods can add, remove or alter the content of other mods (including the Core mod) in the broadest sense of the word. For more info, see also Modding.
