Modding

## Bird Formation Modding

It is possible to modify the shape of bird formations in game using a simple text editor.

* Navigate to *\Steam\SteamApps\common\Settlement Survival\Settlement Survival\_Data\StreamingAssets\zipConfig\*
* Make a backup of file *BridSetConig.xml*. In the event of an error, restore the file you are editing from the backup. Steam file verification will also work but can take some time.
* Open BridSetConig.xml with a text editor of your choice.
* Scroll down to line 32~ where you will see a bunch of 0s and a few 1s and lots of commas.

The 0s and 1s are what "draw" the birds that fly overhead in the game.

0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0
0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0
0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0
0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1

### Syntax

The file is a comma-deliminated table, with each binary digit indicating whether a bird is present in that slot in the formation:

* 0 = no bird
* 1 = draw a bird

Input carriage returns to create a new row of birds.

No matter how many rows you enter, the number of rows and columns must be identical, forming a square. Creating an uneven number of rows and columns may result in a game crash.

### Notes

* If a patch ever is released that updates this file, your changes will be lost. So you may wish to make a backup of your local mod as well.
* This is NOT a formal mod in its current state, this will not show up on the workshop, it will not show up as a mod in your game. Please follow the steam mod guide provided by the devs if you would like to make this a formal mod.
* You can use a ascii art generator to help you. Just fine one that only uses one simple char, I have found # to match up well to the bird shape. From there you you can change all # to 1s and spaces to 0s, of course following the proper syntax
