As being told on [http://stonehearth.net/stonehearth/](http://stonehearth.net/stonehearth/) we are able to mod most parts of the game.

Mod-Friendly. Sharing is Caring

> We think mods are awesome, especially for sandbox-type games. So we’re building everything: UI, unit AI, scripted scenarios (everything!) with modding in mind. Here are just some of the things you should be able to do in a mod:

> Reskin the UI or add new UI screens  
> Add new units, monsters, weapons, armor, and other objects  
> Add new scripted adventures, big and small  
> Tweak or totally rewrite the AI for monsters or units  
> Make the sun rise in the west and set in the east (seriously!)  
> Mod APIs

> As a modder, you will have access to the same APIs we’re using to write the game. We are literally writing the game as a collection of first-party mods. So, with very few exceptions, if the game does it, you can mod it!

So I am wondering, do you need programming knowledge to modify the game using the API ? If yes, what languages are being used and can be used to modify ?
