Timberborn Modding Skill

Timberborn Modding SkillBuild Timberborn mods from JSON patches to custom building assets

A Codex skill for choosing between content mods, building asset routes, Unity AssetBundles, and C# or BepInEx escalation.

Troubleshooting

Choose the mod type first

Start by deciding whether the task is a JSON content mod, a balance pack, a new building asset, or a code-driven mod.

Route A or Route B for assets

For new building assets, decide early between built-in Timberborn materials and a custom AssetBundle path.

Practical guardrails

Reuse the bundled references and avoid common mistakes such as hidden Blueprint assumptions or basename collisions.

Move to Workflow Routes and keep Troubleshooting open while iterating.
