How to edit workshop mods in FCS

[ඞMickeyMan]

How do I do that

[Larus]

Open the FCS, klick on open any, navigate to the direction of the mod, open the mod file and start editing.

If you're using workshop mods would I recommend taking the mod to your mod folder within your main folder. Makes navigating easier and it shouldn't get overwriten when the mod updates.

I meant how to edit workshop mods such as ''silent outfit'' in FCS

[Larus]

What do you want to change in particular?

Editing a mod in the FCS is really as easy as opening them in the way I descriped and changing whatever values you want to change.

[ඞMickeyMan]

I want to change the spawn rate of the solid bandana

[ඞMickeyMan]

I can't even find it in armours

[Larus]

I just looked it up and it seems the "solid bandana" has already a relativ chance of 100 for the shinobi gear vendor.

My personal modding knowledge is here maybe too limited but I don't know what the problem could be.

[ඞMickeyMan]

How did you find out?

[Larus]

I downloaded the mod. Opened the FCS and then opened SilentArmor.mod in my steam workshop folder :)

[ඞMickeyMan]

I'm trying to do that but its not working

[Vyrex]

Are you sure you opened the right mod?

[Larus]

Thanks Larus I think I've figured it out, appreciate it dearly

EDIT: Ooops! didn't see this was a necro...

Basically this got me started with the type of FCS editing of mods OP asking for:
https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Forgotten_Construction_Set
https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Modding

It isn't difficult, just be patient, read it all first, then go back and follow the guides step-by-step. Do something simple first. AND ALWAYS BACK UP FILES AND SAVE GAMES!

Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\233860

233860 is Kenshi's app id - the number is different for other games.

Generally best to move Workshop mods from there into your actual game's installation folder, and then to unsubscribe. Modders can and sometimes do release gamebreaking changes, and it you're relying on subscribed copies, the automatic download system will cause you grief.

Note that mod folders in Kenshi's own "mods" directory need to be renamed to exactly match their titles.
