    Great tutorial! My only gripe with this is that I still have no clue on how to make animation files. Could you add in custom examples, or show the location of the Starbound examples you already give?

      I used a single file for giving examples, which was in /objects/crafting/upgradeablecraftingobjects/craftinganvil/craftinganvil.animation . I think I'll try making a Youtube tutorial on this sooner!

    Great Tutorial, good for those who wants quantity details in a tutorial modding. By the way, where's the behavior coding page?

      'Behavior coding page'? There is one? Once I was researching about this confusing file I only found out that there is a program by Healthire to edit these things, tried looking at it. It's still quite confusing itself, though.
      I will be making monsters for my own mod later, so I'll go into trial and error with these files to see what they do. If I get anything out of it, I'll make sure to make a tutorial or write about it in the book.
      (Actually, it is more likely to happen sooner than later)
      Also, thank you for your review!

    This is a great primer for getting started. I'm hoping you'll get into vehicles and how to make those next... I have some ideas for vehicles I'd like to make but have no idea where to even begin outside of making sprites.

      Thank you! By v1.0, this book should contain information about all file types in Starbound assets and all information about Lua hooks, I will try my best to explain everything. It is in active development and I hope to finish it by July.
