These mods are intended for use in the Asset Editor.

These are intended to be safe to use, presenting information taken from existing game assets and resources instead of user input.

Be aware that during development many assets were sacrificed (broken) irreversably. While these are reasonibly safe to use (as directed) it is advised that thse e exercised with backups/copies until you, the end-user, know a particular action is to be safe.

Many of these are derived from from "Building AI Changer" Copyright (c) 2015 Stefan Kaufhold--
