The first step is to make a local copy there are 3 main ways to make a local copy. Automatically Download ModSwitch if you don't already have it.

Launch Rimworld and load Mod Switch Find the mod you want to edit right click then click Create a local copy Move to step 4 3. External Download If you downloaded the mod somewhere other than steam you already installed the mod locally all you need to do is change the values. After you did step 1 manually you will see a screen like this. Now you need to find the mod you want to edit.

Now you made it to step 3 Copy the file you searched for in step 2. Now you need to navigate to your Rimworld local mods folder. I recommend you rename it from all the number to the mods name just for ease of navigation if you decide to modify it later. Move to Step 4. Congratulations you made it to the final step The About folder there is no need to change anything this is just for modders uploading their mods.

The Assemblies folder if there is a Assemblies folder it is where any C Code will be located for the mod. The Defs folder is usually the main part of any mod this is the folder you are most likely to edit. The Patches folder if there is a patches folder is where it's usually used to override something in the main game or XML code that is dependant on other mods.

The Textures folder is where all the textures for the mod are stored. Look through the Defs for whatever you want to change. If you are looking to edit a certain function I will be adding more and more content over time Whatever you do don't re-upload people's content steal their textures or original code without permission and if you do get permission you should give them appropriate credit for their mod.
