hello I don’t seem to have the folder structure I am supposed to have? read another post saying there was a file named services/server/game_creation/game_creation_services.lua

wanted to set starting villagers to 8 at least maybe 9 to provide all the needed jobs

Hello, @thedarlec!

Within your Stonehearth-folder (in steam-versions, this is …\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth), there is a mods-folder. The changes and folder-structure you are talking about is found within the “stonehearth mod”.
Ergo, within the mods-folder, locate stonehearth.smod; .smod is simply a renamed .zip-file.

You can locate and edit mentioned file by following these steps:

  1. rename stonehearth.smod to stonehearth.zip
  2. unzip stonehearth.zip -> this yields a folder namned stonehearth
  3. within this new folder, browse to services/server/game_creation/game_creation_services.lua
  4. perform your changes
  5. re-zip your stonehearth-folder (stonehearth.zip)
  6. rename stonehearth.zip into stonehearth.smod

If these steps are performed correctly, boot up Stonehearth and your chages will be implemented. Best of luck! :slight_smile:

thanks now it seems the post must refer to an older copy as the line doesn’t look anything like what was described in this post Modding villager files

NUM_STARTING_CITIZENS variable that’s set to 7.

was looking for that and seems to loop back on its self from what I can read

also humble bundle doesn’t want to give me 22.5?

local NUM_STARTING_CITIZENS = constants.game_creation.num_starting_citizens is what it says was expecting local NUM_STARTING_CITIZENS = 7

or am I looking in the wrong place?

Check at data/constants.json

      "game_creation": {
         "num_starting_citizens": 7
      },
