EXTRAS

Feel free to modify it any way you want. Recommended way is through making own simple patch mod and have your changes in there so they persist even if your favorite mods get updated.

Basically just check out the game’s example mod and add your changes to the actions array like in the example below while making sure you set the correct path to the .rules file you want change. You can use the same file with other mods as well, just set different path.

Of course, you can also just modify the mod’s setting directly but in that case all your changes will get reset if there is an update.
