    So I'm back into Starbound and starting to get into mod-making and I've gone through the basic tutorials and documents, etc etc. I'm looking to start making mods and I have ideas but they feel more complex for a beginner, so I'm looking to make mods that are simpler.

    In your opinion, what kind of mods are best for a beginner to work on to improve their skills in mod-making?

    I suggest if you want to learn to start modding - decide on what "interests" you and build up from there.

    For example if you are clothing - first do simple clothing reworks.
    If you are into weapons, modify existing weapon values and see what happens before trying to make your own custom weapons.

    If you are into interactive objects I suggest checking out my Github
    https://github.com/xxswatelitexx/Starbound/tree/master/mad_Exp

    I documented some basic code and explanations and functions.

    Essentially start simple by editing existing files, then work your way upto patches ( ALWAYS and I do mean ALWAYS use a Patch File when distributing a mod that edits existing files )

    Then try simple custom objects.
