Getting started
Understand the moving parts, what you need, and how to get back to an unchanged game.
Level / Beginner
MF / DIY / WORKBENCH
Open it up.
Mutate the game. These guides show how the parts fit together, what each tool changes, and how to recover when an experiment goes sideways.
Guide shelf
Start with the machinery.
Guide pages are being prepared alongside the first public release. Planned entries are labeled plainly.
Map the machinery
See how the bridge, renderer, original game, and local asset cache fit together.
Level / Intermediate
Build the Holodeck
Set up the development tools and run the 3D viewer against your own copy of the game.
Level / Advanced
Every guide will include
Required toolsExpected resultCommon mistakesHow to undo itFiles involved
More than one representation
The command is not the explanation.
A copyable command helps you proceed. A diagram, concrete example, inspectable file, and recovery path help you understand what happened.
See the system
Guides should connect steps to diagrams, project structure, and the actual files or data being changed.
Know the result
Every procedure should state what success looks like and how to recognize a partial or failed result.
Find your way back
Experiments need an undo path. Recovery is part of the procedure, not a footnote for people who made a mistake.
