Important Info

The game is now using mod.io for mod-support in their game which was implemented with the latest patch (20th July).
You can still add them manually like before (github) but it would be certainly easier for you to create a mod.io profile and get the mods and updates for them through the game now.

Mod compatibility with all my mods

• I mainly set up the string structure to make it easier for the upcoming changes.

• So, these values are not final and barely touched, mainly testing the waters here.
