    I realize most people use scraps of code found in the assets folder and I can do that but my question is if I wanted to add a new item all together (while probably using the code bits) what all needs to be done?

    ^ in said link the op wants to use the bone hammer's tile destruction capabilities to make a mining laser. Well I also want to use said code in a few experiments so how say I wanted to make a mid ranged laser that destroyed tiles how would I begin this? I know there are a lot of modding tutorials out there but I am having issues figuring it all out so, if anyone is willing to help, I ask that someone guides me throught it as needed.

    Firstly I don't know where to start or how to proceed. I have intermediate knowledge of computers and some base programming knowledge so hopefully it won't be too much help needed. (about to start on learning LUA but not yet)
