Modding Notes

• An intro guide to modding & documentation will get linked on the Steam Workshop once it's done. Checkout the #modding-dev channel on the Discord server to stay updated about advancements.
• If you create a mod now you should still expect to have to update it when the base game gets updated since a lot of changes/refactoring will likely be made to facilitate modding.
• Modding Brotato currently requires coding skills but we're looking into making it more accessible.
• Thanks to all modders who have worked on creating tools or mods for the game! Special thanks to Darkly, Ste, Kana and otDan who have worked on ModLoader, the code used to support multiple mods in Brotato.
