I would like to learn how to make a mod.  
Are there any videos that could teach me how to make a mod?  
I know how to modify game files. but I have to make those changes each time the game updates.

> Hey Everyone, Last week I did a [stream](http://www.twitch.tv/stonehearth/v/7053842) in which I started writing a very basic starter mod for Stonehearth. The goal of this mod is to help people who have never coded or written a mod add an item of their own to the game, either via the debugtools or as a recipe that can be crafted by the carpenter. You can now download it and give it a try here: [GitHub - stonehearth/startermod\_basic: A most basic starter mod to get you going!](https://github.com/stonehearth/startermod_basic) Instructions are in the readme. Let me know if anything is unclea…

Also, if you use that little search glass in the top right corner…it’s kinda the second link…
