Well considering you’ve clicked on this your either a random person or a person who codes some of the mods here.

I want to talk about making mods. I already have a clue at what mods are made of those ‘.json’ and made a modification to a mod i loved i added a really op book that gives you 100,000 morale points. But i caint seem to grasp the idea of other items please help.

Maybe this thread can help you? Zhilkin replied with a GitHub page that is some sort of guide to modding C:DDA.

> I am interested in mod making for CDDA. I stumbled upon this game on Reddit a few weeks ago. At first I rolled my eyes at it because of the graphics, but I eventually decided to download it and play it, and i love it, mostly because of its depth and difficulty. Anyways, enough of me rambling, I would really like to know where to get started with modding the game and help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Dylan
