Quick start

How to set up your mod to work with this mods installer.
1. Have a look at SkyPhoenixMods - Cubic Odyssey - Tweakers collection
- All of these types of mods are supported
2. Make sure you have an `Instructions.txt` file in your mod's ZIP file
Instructions.txt EXAMPLE:
----------------------------
How to install my Mod
1. Go to the location where the game is installed.
a) Its Mini-Guide For steam users who want to find their game
- open your steam library
- Find and click on Cubic Odyssey, but dont try to run this game
- Click "Cogwheel" icon to open properties
- Go to "Installed Files" tab and click "Browse" button
2. Now follow the path of folders: "data" > "configs"
3. Now its time to replace files in correct directories
Warning!) Make sure to make a backup of original files so in case you will ever want to return to vanilla experience you can restore these files.
a) All modified files should be stored in "Replacement Files" subfolder inside .zip archive, if necessary they can be categorized into additional subfolders.
b) Copy and Paste All files from mod's folder(s): > "Replacement Files" to game's subfolder(s): > "Furnace"
4. All is done, you can now enjoy my mod. Keep in mind that game updates can wipe my mod as invasive method was used to install mod by replacing files in game folders.
----------------------------3. The mods installer will read this Instructions.txt file and figure out how to copy based off of this line:
----------------------------
Copy and Paste All files from mod's folder(s): > "Replacement Files" to game's subfolder(s): > "Furnace"
----------------------------- This line says in your mod's ZIP file, there is a directory called "Replacement Files"
- Inside "Replacement Files", you have all your modded files to replace in the game's `data\configs` directory
- This part `to game's subfolder(s): > "Furnace"` tells the mods installer to send these files to `data\configs\furnace` directory
4. As long as your mod is moddeled after this ^^, and you zip it up, your mod is supported.

There are more simple and 1 semi-complicated example of how to do this in SkyPhoenixMods - Cubic Odyssey - Tweakers collection
- For the most complex use case, look at: SkyPhoenixTweaker - More Energy in Batteries
- This Batteries example has 2 parts under the "Replacement Files" directory, with individual targets for each one.
- Theoretically, you can make a bunch of parts for your mod, as long as the Instructions.txt file describes exactly where to copy the files in the game's `data\configs` directory.
Good luck! Hopefully you can figure it out.
