Instead of that stuff being in 20 different places, any chance you could add your knowledge to the official Wiki, or send @Hummel-o-War your write-ups or tutorials. Not trying to steal your thunder, but at this stage, the more consolidated and up to date that info is, the better for everyone.
the link for the Virtual Auto Miners PDF - is the same link for turning a base/HV/SV into a CV. Can you update that or post that link here by chance? Unless thats the PDF for EAH's tool, otherwise i would just point ppl to the EAH forum link.
Agreed, sadly everything is so spread out with everyones different lists posted on differnt sites, most outdated but I really wish some of these modders would share the source code so we could have a crack at customizing it. I know its a sensitive subject but it would really be nice.
To be honest, most of it's not even "modding", in the classic sense. The game allows for content creation... and it integrates with the Steam workshop. So, the potential is obvious. The tools we use might be... "mods" but not all of them. Some parse and markup text files.
Thats why we are slowly doing this all there then creating a post here thats formatted a bit better. We have been learning so much lately and all of it takes a considerable amount of time because the documentation is either super spread out or non existent. Its all about consolidation in the end but there is just so much information and it all has to be verified before we can add it.
Im basically assembling a list of information right now to get everything into one place. Once I do I will either make a forum post with everything in it or just start documenting this stuff out onto our pages. I have yet to list all of the YAML stuff yet as i need to find more information AND add in what we have learned.
I fixed that but the information might not be very helpful as most of it pertains to our server. There is a link to the main EAH forum which links the web site that has documentation.
