Space Engineers - How to setup Visual Studio and create a simple mod
This is a short tutorial that shows how to create a simple mod by using the API tools released in the last update 01.048. With the API tools, players can bring function to their creations and share the mods with others through Steam Workshop. The mod that is programmed in this tutorial can be found at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles... .
We hope this tutorial will help you learn and understand the possibilities of API features.
