ModsFileNamingConventions

The Colonists Mod file naming conventions

The following filenames in a mod folder will be "read" and processed.
The file "custom_log.txt" should show results of processing each file.

NOTE: most filenames are forgiving of case.
E.g. "landroutefloor_200.png", "LandRouteFloor_200.png", "LANDROUTEFLOOR_200.png", or "Landroutefloor_200.png" should all work the same.
