Don't start making mods until you do the following.

Step 1: Search for a Mod Already Doing What You Want

Seriously, there are so many mods, there is generally one, probably of high quality, doing what you want it to.

  • Search [https: //steamcommunity.com/workshop/about/?appid=294100 Steam's Workshop]. These have ready to go and managed by Steam mods. Click to use them.
  • Check the [RimWorld Mod Forum](https: //ludeon.com/forums/index.php?board=12.0)
  • Use [Google](http: //google.com) because it works.


Step 2: Read Other Info On Modding

Step 3: One Time Reads
