Creating a mod

Creating a Colony Survival mod can be done by anyone, even if you have no knowledge of programming. The Official Discord has a channel dedicated to supporting mod developers. If you have problems getting started or encounter any issues the Discord is here to help.

Basic

Using only .JSON files you can add or modify vast aspects of the game such as:

• Add new Blocks
• Add new Science
• Add new Crafting Recipes
• Add new Colony Starter Kits

Detailed information on how to structure these files is located on the Colony Survival Github page.

Intermediate

With basic C# knowledge you write your own code to interface with the Colony Survival API and add more complex blocks and job behavior.

Advanced

Using tools like Harmony you can patch the Colony Survival code to modify normal functionality, or add your own advanced features not available through the existing API.
