Right, this explains everything really!
Can confirm that the game is launchable with just the .smod 
Sorry for any confusion and/or inconvenience.

I see. I basicly skipped the installation of mods part because I have installed mods at least 100 times myself already. Lessons learned.

Sadly I donāt have any time to play this right now, but I want to say thanks for the code comments.
Took a short look inside the scenario and this will help a lot in the future

Yo, Iāve played this mod with three different save files (each started specifically for the mod), and Iāve never been able to fully complete it. I usually have at least one soldier and a bunch of pumpkin wards around my living area. The skeletons come out and everybody has fun, until a red error pops up in-game (donāt have the exact error info now, but I can take a look and drop it into this post), then the skeletons stop moving. My guys whack the skeletons until all their heart-points are drained, but the skeletons donāt die, they just keep standing there, and my guys keep whacking them. Placing a pumpkin ward next to the glitched skellies doesnāt do anything. Anyone has any idea what I can do?
Are you playing on the unstable branch? This mod is only compatible with the stable Alpha 5.
No sir, Iāve rolled back to 150. Unstable branch doesnāt even start with this mod.

I had to delete the steam version 1687 Stonehearth folder, something stays if you just do a rollback and makes the game not start
My game starts fine, thoughā¦ itās just that the modās skeletons start breaking later into the game.
If anyone is still watching, here is the relevant screenshot:

Edit: I was finally able to kill all the skeletons by reloading earlier in the night, before the eve had begun. My soldiers are both wusses, so they ended up running back to the settlement, where my considerable amount of pumpkin wards made a short job of any skeletons incoming. It seems that the error only happens when thereās combat between NPCs, and not direct damage from pumpkin wards.
Another edit: Wave 2 was fine, and wave 3 ended up with the same error as seen above, except duplicated maybe 20 times. Disregard what I said about pumpkin wards not triggering this issue; it seems that they do. I am still unable to finish the mod. Iām going to delete all my Stonehearth files and re-install the game without opting in to unstable.

Hey @SVGray, this is a problem with combat in general, and not just local to Candledark, unfortunately. It happens with goblins, too. Weāre still looking into it. Your best bet is to save/reload and sometimes, that resets the AI sufficiently to fix it.

After playing the mod, I have to say I enjoyed the new sort of mini-game playstyle. For my next attempt, Iām likely going to try some added challenges, like āno perimeter walls to the settlement (only houses)ā, āno soldiersā, or maybe ābuild X number of structuresā.
What excites me is the prospect of yearly updates to the mod conceptās design, building off new material for next yearā¦maybe?

Iām wondering if Candledark can be updated to run with steam version 1687? Goblins donāt transform into mini bunkers, we have a measuring grid for building, and generally more stable (except for the sudden closing heh)

Hopefully it will run with whatever next build we release. Thereās so much stuff in flight that itās hard to go back to 1687.
