Step-by-Step Building a New Farm, Plant Production and Field

Modding Objective	File in Mod Folder	Minimum Requirements	Notes
New Farm Building	building_###.assetbundle	Built AssetBundle from Unity	See 3D Models & Colliders; Note: reload mods does not incorporate new changes to any assetbundle, must go back to main menu
	building_###.json	"typeId": ### (must equal the building_### in the assetbundle.	Copy one of the farm buildings (1, 13, 18, 21, 66, 67) from BaseCodex
	ui.json	add building id "###," to "constructionGridBuildingIds"	This allows it to be shown on the Build menu
	buildingfloor_###_L#.png	128 pixels * width by 128 pixels * length (e.g. 2x3 tiles = 256x384 image)	without the Floor png image the building will be on the game's terrain
	building_###_L#.png	128x128 w/ transparent background	without the Building png image, the building menu will show "no icon"
	translations.csv	Building_###_Name Building_###_Description Building_###_Plural Building_###_Worker || see translations.csv help; without this the building descriptions will be missing Note: reload mods does not incorporate new changes IF the translations.csv file is still open, save and close it"
New Plant Structure	building_###.json	"structureTypeId": ### (must equal the structure_### in structure_###.json file)	If you don't change this, it will use the structure from the building you chose
	structure_###.json	""typeId"": ### (must equal the ""structureTypeId"" in the building_###.json file	Copy one of the farm structures (1,2,3,4,7,8) from BaseCodex Best to start with the cooresponding structure from the farm building you copied above You'll need to note whether is is ""PlantableFarmField"", ""TreeFieldInfo"", or ""AnimalFieldInfo""
	render.json	must have a ""###"" list entry under the cooresponding [Plantable,Tree,Animal]FieldRenderSpecDict. This has multiple lines ""structureId:"" ### (must equal the ""typeId"" in the structure_###.json file || Copy over the one you are wanting from existing plots; without a cooresponding ""structureid"" the ground will be whatever the terrain is"
	subasset_plantablefieldplantable_###.assetbundle	Built AssetBundle from Unity	See 3D Models & Colliders - This is the growing plant
	translations.csv	Structure_###_Name Structure_###_Plural || see translations.csv help; without this the plots/structure descriptions will be missing Note: reload mods does not incorporate new changes IF the translations.csv file is still open, save and close it"
Plant Production Input	building_###.json	"miscCatTypeId": ### (must equal the new icon for itemRequirements)	This is the pointer to the icon that is shown to the left of the production window
	misccategory_###.png	48x48 w/ transparent background	This is the Misc Category Icon that is shown to the left of the production window
	translations.csv	MiscCat_###_Name MiscCat_###_Pural MiscCat_###_Desc || see translations.csv help; without this the required plot/plant descriptions will be missing Note: reload mods does not incorporate new changes IF the translations.csv file is still open, save and close it"
Plant Production Output	resource_###.assetbundle	Built AssetBundle from Unity	See 3D Models & Colliders - This is the harvested and ready to use plant (resource)
	building_###.json	"miscCatTypeId": ### (must equal the new icon for itemRequirements)	This is the pointer to the icon that is shown to the left of the production window
	resource_###.json	"typeId": ### (must equal the "structureTypeId" in the building_###.json file
	resource_###.png	128x128 w/ transparent background	This is the icon that is shown to the right of the production window and on Resources
	ui.json	need to add another ""resourceId"": ###, (multiple lines) in the correct section	Copy over from another similar category (example Wheat is under ""category"": 2 This put the count and icon in the Resource Storage section of the User Interface"
	translations.csv	Item_###_Name Item_###_Desc Item_###_FullDesc Item_###_Past Item_###_Present Item_###_Sowing || see translations.csv help; without this the required harvested plant/resource item descriptions will be missing Note: reload mods does not incorporate new changes IF the translations.csv file is still open, save and close it"
New Farm Field plot	render.json	"dynamicFloorId": ### (must equal the "dynamicfloor_###.png" file number)
