The chances of me adding more versions of my mods is very low. I have not the time nor finances to do so at the moment. That said, I wanted to put some info up on each of my mods on how to tweak or mod my mod if someone were so inclined to do so.


What I Use:
So for the moment i'm just starting with what I use and where you can find my mods in your workshop. First, I highly highly recommend Notepad ++, its been my modding weapon since day 1 and it is nothing short of amazing. I'd also recommend getting the "compare" plugin once you start getting trixsy, this allows you to see what is different between the vanilla defs and your modded defs and helps update as well as see how far from norm your changes are.

Where to find my mod in your workshop folders:
The path may differ on different setups but it should give you a genal idea of where to look.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100

then find 751871219

294100 (Rimworld) number and the 751871219 (IFD - Deadly v.) numbers do not change by different users but the rimworld one MIGHT on systems other than windows (unconfirmed if even possible).

Thats all for now. And one suggestion to any would-be mod modders, MAKE BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING and MAKE SHORTCUTS to folders that would otherwise be a pain to re-find. I have a folder that contains 97 versions of my Total War mod and they have come in handy many times. Also helps protect against your changes being wiped out after every game or mod update.

Tweaking Plant Density

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The resultant density of your forests is the sum of several different mechanics and parts but the quickest and easiest way to tweaking it is the "plantDensity" parameter. You can tweak "plantDensity" for your given biome through the definition files such as "Biomes_Temperate" (for temperate forest and swamp) for those going without my mod or the "Kudzu_Biomes_XXX"(XXX = Base or Deadly) for those using my mod; both of which can be found in the "Biome_Defs" folder in their respective directories (Core directory for without my mod and refer to the earlier passages in this guide for finding my mod's location).

Lets talk about Plant Density values. So vanilla value for temperate forest is 0.55. My base version of this mod is set somewhere around 1.65 (it varies between versions). So you can see that it is moderately sensitive. At around a value of 2 you start to see impenetrable walls of trees so I wouldn't suggest going much beyond that.
