Mod Creation

[KRABBIT101]

Could anyone give me a description on the tools needed to create a mod for Starmade?

Define mod... There are no big game changing moddifications to the game code. But a few config and script changes and a few plugins (MusicMade just to name a example) exists

You would also probably make a custom config for the game by editing the config file with any text editing software.
