ok so i want to add  
this is the user\_settings.json  
{  
“enable\_debug\_keys” : true,  
}

to the user\_settings.json  
so is this how i would do it?

this is the manifest  
{  
“info” : {  
“name” : “enable\_debug\_keys”,  
“namespace” : “enable\_debug\_keys”,  
“version” : 3,  
“steam\_file\_id” : “1362647660”  
},  
“aliases” : {},  
“mixintos” : {“stonehearth”:“file(user\_settings.json)”},  
“overrides” : {},  
“components” : {},  
“controllers” : {}  
}  
this is the mod

You can’t access the user\_settings.json through the manifest of a mod. Not with json alone.

First, what that “stonehearth” alias is pointing to?  
The user\_settings that the game uses is not a mod file.  
You can take a look here to learn the basics: [Stonehearth's Modding Guide](https://stonehearth.github.io/modding_guide/index.html)
