Required Items[edit]
| Notepad++ or Atom or Sublime Text or VSCode | Use any text editor that allows you to edit XML files and use "Find in Files" for referencing. |
| Visual Studio Community | Use this or any other C# compiler to turn scripts into .dll files that RimWorld can use. |
| dnSpy or ILSpy | This is for referencing the game's decompiled C# scripts. |
Optional Goodies[edit]
Rimworld Mod Development Cookiecutter
This is a tool for developers to begin mods more quickly, eliminating the overhead of setting up a new project.

Editors note: Unlike the linked tutorial I don't recommend the cookiecutter, for the following reasons.
- The cookiecutter is still on B18.
- This tutorial is about understanding the basics of modding first. You can cut corners later.
- Setting up the cookiecutter is surprisingly error prone for beginners.
- It's more time-consuming to adjust the very specific environment it sets up to suit your tastes than it is to set up an environment from scratch.
- It's difficult to fix errors of which you don't know the cause.
