    I changed a few lines in my BlocksConfig.ecf and my Containers.ecf.
    I also added a few things in my Config.ecf, and my TraderNPCConfig.ecf.

    I assume the next time ECS updates, it will leave the Config alone and possibly the TraderNPCConfig, but prob. overwrite the rest, so I should create a scenario and place them in it.

    Is this correct? If so then is it possible to create a scenario where all that is changed is a few config files and leave the solar systems alone vanilla?

    Sorry if I sound clueless but I've never created a scenario before. I did watch Spanj's excellent video on creating a scenario but most of it didn't pertain to me. I don't want to change any sector files.

    Thanks for any and all help.

    Second question. Do I have to start a new game, or can I start the scenario then copy my existing save files over?

    I made a scenario for exactly this. Link in my signature.

    Hey ravien_ff, I subscribed and created the config. Thank you for making this.
    Question, do I have to start a new game?
    Does my friend that played coop with me have to have this scenario, meaning do I have to put it on the workshop?
    We're pretty far into a game. Maybe it's possible to copy from the save into the scenario?

    Yes you must start a new game. Your friend doesn't need the scenario.
